How to wash your hands with foam soap
1. Wet your hands with warm running water.
2. Use plenty of foam hand soap to wash the dirt and germs away.
3. Rub hands together vigorously for 20-30 seconds.
4. Make sure you wash your palms, back of hands, wrists, fingers and under fingernails.
5. Rinse your hands well with warm running water.
6. Dry hands completely with a clean, fresh paper towel. Wet hands are more likely to carry germs than dirty hands so dry them well.
7. Use the paper towel to turn off the tap. This prevents reinfection of your hands.
Handy hints
• Ensure the dispenser instructions are followed when re-filling a dispenser.
• Cold water is better than nothing but hand soaps lather up and performs better with warm water. The active ingredients in most soap formulations are released more easily, making the soap even more effective for cleaning your hands of dirt, grease, oils and germs without stripping away the natural oils in your skin.
How often should I wash my hands?
Hand washing is considered to be the most important single measure in preventing the spread of disease. Hand washing is most effective for washing away germs, not necessarily killing them. While we have antibacterial liquid soap available, this type of hand soap has not been scientifically proven to be more effective in every case, so use what you like best. Remember that regular hand washing is the best way to minimise your risk of catching and spreading illnesses.
Are touch-free soap dispensers better?
Yes, here's why...
a. Better hygiene: Touch-free soap dispensers drastically reduce the chance of contamination.
b. Get the right amount: Automatic touch-free soap dispensers give you the right amount every time. More is not always better and over-usage is costly for the facility.
c. Saves time: Touch-free soap dispensers are quick and easy to use for visitors.
d. Less wastage: Save water and product. The best automatic touch-free liquid soap dispensers control usage so wastage is eliminated.
e. Less mess: Very little cleaning of the washroom is required after use.
f. Brilliant user experience: Touch-free soap dispensers encourage people to wash their hands and show that a facility cares about hygiene and the washroom experience.
