My Review of Gojo� PROVON� FMX Moisturizing Foaming Handwash Refill

Originally submitted at Quill

General-purpose, mild formula. Cranberry fragrance. Use with PROVON� FMX dispenser #516006 (sold seperately).


Berry-scented Foam is Nice!

5out of 5

Pros: Easy On Skin, Pleasant Smell

Best Uses: Bathroom

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Primary use: Business

I really like this hand-wash. The main reason I selected this type of hand soap is because it is a foamy wash. This means that the foam sticks to the hand and does not slide off on the floor or drip from the dispenser onto the counter or floor. This soap is not harsh on the hands, and this means a lot since I work with paper all day and tend to have dry hands. I also like the berry scent which is pleasant.

My Review of SofPull� Hardwound Paper Towel Rolls; Brown, 1,000 Ft./Roll, 6 Rolls/Case

Originally submitted at Quill

Uniquely designed with a plugged core to work with Georgia-Pacific SofPull� mechanical towel dispensers (#59489Q). Easily dispenses 11"L towels. 100% recycled content, 40% post-consumer waste.


This Does the Job!

4out of 5

Pros: Absorbent, Good Sheet Size

Cons: Weak When Wet

Best Uses: Bathroom

Describe Yourself: Value Oriented

Primary use: Business

I purchased these for our staff restrooms as well as the patron restrooms in the lobby of our business. Obviously, I do not see "single use" as a bad thing since this is for restroom hand-drying. It is also okay that the paper is brown, because I don't think people really care if the paper is white or paper-bag colored, just as long as it dries. The rolls are long-lasting, are wound tightly on the spool. I have no complaints about the price, and will keep this item on my list of regular things to order.
