Frequently Asked Questions

SANI is headquartered in Berlin, Germany, with our own production facilities across Europe. Our products combined cutting-edge German design with our own in-house manufacturing capabilities for ethanol-based gel hand sanitizer, so you never need to worry about supply running out. Click here to learn more about us.

SANI’s hand sanitizer formulation guarantees a minimum alcohol content of 80% to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. Our formula adheres to the World Health Organization’s global guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Healthcare, our fragrance-free gel formula has a shelf life of up to 36 months from the time it ships from our own in-house production facility.

SANI offers significant added value over normal hand sanitizer dispensers. First, SANI saves our clients time, effort and money, simply because our refills work more efficiently. Each one is enough for 10,000 individual sanitizations compared to 600 from your average wall or stand dispenser, so you spend less time sourcing refills and topping up, and save by buying direct from the producer, in bulk. Second, our smart dispenser does individual sanitizations and tops up reusable bottles all in one - so you cover employee needs at work and on the go, while reducing plastic waste. And lastly, SANI introduces data and intelligence into your workplace sanitization system, so tracking usage, staying on top of your workforce’s needs, and ensuring compliance to any workplace hygiene policies you may have can all be done through a simple digital interface that integrates seamlessly with your own office systems.

As SANI refills take the form of cartridges that have been custom-made to easily plug-in to our devices, buying dispensers and refills separately is not recommended. However, if you would like to try the SANI Smart Sanitizer System before signing up for a plan, you can do so by taking advantage of our special introductory offer to enjoy a two-month trial of the SANI Smart Sanitizer System for a discounted rate.

SANI was designed for cost and resource efficiency, with each unit able to perform 10,000 individual sanitizations - enough to last an organization of 100 employees an entire month. This allows our customers to provide on-premise and bottled hand sanitizer for their employees all for as low as 5.99 € per person a month - a fraction of the cost of the usual stand dispensers and bottled sanitizer for your workforce, without the hassle of regular restocking.

Customers SANI-flex plans can easily change their existing plan to our more cost efficient SANI-plus tier. While it is not possible for SANI-plus customers to downgrade their plan, customers can rest assured that both the SANI dispenser and all unused refills can continue to be used after the end of the subscription period.

Should you require additional SANI dispensers, you can easily order them on a plan most suited to your needs, and not all devices need to be on the same plan. It is also possible to cancel your plan, which you can read more about below.

SANI-flex plans can be cancelled with 30 days notice, straight from your digital SANI dashboard. Customers who would like to cancel a SANI-plus plan may also do so, but will be required to pay a cancellation fee valued at 60% of the outstanding value of the plan.

On a full charge, each SANI provides a month’s supply of hand sanitizer for up to 100 employees. That said, this is just a general guide as the number of SANI dispensers needed will also vary with the number of floors in your office, as well as the proportion of your staff that are based in the office, rather than at home. To get a more accurate estimate, try our simple SANI calculator, or get in touch with a member of our team.

SANI’s proprietary refill cartridges are designed for efficiency with a large, 20L capacity. This means that each cartridge is enough for 10,000 individual sanitizations—enough to last an organization of 100 employees an entire month.

SANI refill cartridges currently come in a single size so our customers can enjoy maximum cost efficiency. If you feel that a 20L cartridge may be more than your organization requires for a month’s use, it is also possible to purchase a SANI dispenser and pay for refills as you need them, so you only order what you need, when you need it, without the commitment of a plan. 

SANI’s refill cartridges have been designed to literally plug and play, making them as easy to change as plugging in a USB device.

All our plans come with 100 reusable bottles that can be distributed to employees so they continue to have a ready supply of hand sanitizer on the go. 

All reusable bottles are 100 ml in size. 

We currently only offer reusable bottles in 100 ml formats.

The SANI Smart Sanitizer System is designed to detect the difference between individual touchless hand sanitizations, and bottle refills based on RFID technology.

Of course, additional bottles can be purchased for €39 for an additional twenty 80ml bottles.
