Infectious diseases such as colds and flu
are often spread by hand contact, so
hand washing and the use of hand hygiene dispensers is particularly important
for the removal of contamination. With
everything from luxury cleansing to
hypoallergenic soaps, we have got hand
hygiene covered.
How to wash your hands
The answer is thoroughly! Here is our quick guide:
Wet your hands with clean running water
Apply soap and lather well
Rub your hands together vigorously for at least 15
seconds. Pay particular attention to all hand surfaces
(the thumbs are the most commonly missed area
when washing hands)
Rinse well under clean running water
Thoroughly dry your hands
How long to wash your hands for
As a guide, try singing "Happy Birthday" to yourself and
wash them for that long. In a study, it was found that
only one third of people wash their hands effectively
when using a public washroom.
Hypoallergenic products
If the product is hypoallergenic it means it is less likely
to cause an adverse allergic reaction. More and more
customers are asking for hypoallergenic products, due to
increased awareness and sensitivity to certain products.
