This has led to the question of how hotels in California can manage this ban. In this blog, DZEE Textiles aims to provide a brief overview of the new scenario and aid in selecting the right products for their hotel supplies inventory.

An Overview of the Situation: Ban on Bulk Plastic Toiletries
In 2019, the state of California passed a new law banning travel-sized plastic bottles. The bill, which was to take effect by 2023, aimed to reduce plastic wastage in the hospitality industry. According to a CNN report, hoteliers who don’t comply with the bill would be fined US$500 every day the violation occurs. However, the same report also quoted Mariott International, which shared that it aimed to save 250 pounds of plastic by substituting individual plastic bottles with dispensers.
How can Hotels Procure Plastic-Free Toiletries?
If you are a hotelier worried about the ban, DZEE Textiles is here to help! Our extensive range of hotel supplies makes us the perfect choice. Wall-mounted soap dispensers by DZEE Textiles are ideal for managing this new restriction:
Wall-Mounted Soap Dispenser
The wall-mounted soap dispenser by DZEE Textiles is the best product for hospitality businesses. These soap dispensers include tamper resistance, recyclability, GMP certification, twin installation, and a key lock to ensure safety.
Tamper Resistance
DZEE Textiles designed the wall-mounted soap dispensers to be tamper-resistant. They added this feature to manage busy days, especially during guest surges.
Anti-theft
DZEE Textiles has specially designed the anti-theft mount to suit the security needs of a hotel. Hotels accommodate people of all kinds, and theft is a common occurrence. According to Washington Informer, while toiletries are among the second most stolen objects from hotels, businesses may face annual losses of up to US$ 1 million due to such incidents.
Our wall-mounted soap dispensers have a locking system and key, ensuring security. Secondly, the key lock mechanism works simply, making it easier for the housekeeping staff to install or remove it.

Dual Mount Function
We designed our products to bolster your hotel supplies inventory and ensure they fulfill a hotelier’s needs. The dual mount function allows the wall-mounted soap dispenser to stay securely in place.
The dual mount function of these wall-mounted soap dispensers includes an adhesive mount and a screw mount. The adhesive mount of these wall-mounted soap dispensers sticks to a surface (a wall). It holds the bracket parallel to the wall and prevents accidental drops. Another mount, the screw mount, installs on the bracket of the wall-mounted soap dispenser. It is specially designed to securely lock wall-mounted devices. This screw mount not only holds the bracket but also provides additional security.
