Using Antibacterial Hand Soap and Sanitisers Has the Potential to Save Lives
4 May, 2010
The most common cause of cross infection is through contact with your hands. We all use our hands to touch different surfaces, sometimes without even thinking about it. Around 1.5 million children die every year from diarrhoeal diseases around the world; hand washing regularly could easily prevent many of these deaths.
10 steps to clean hands:
- Turn on the warm water
- Put your hands under the running water
- One squirt of liquid hand soap
- Make bubbles in your hand by rubbing your palms together with interlocked fingers
- Scrub the backs of your hands, using palm to back of hand. Repeat on the other hand
- Place you thumb in the opposite hands palm, twist and then repeat with the other thumb.
- Scrub your wrists.
- Take a paper towel to dry your hands
- Turn off the tap with the paper towel
- Put the paper towel in the waste paper bin.
Currently in our Stock Clearance promotion we have biocidal hand soap available, reduced from £1.99 to £1.49.
There are of course alternatives to hand washing. Sanitisation can also be achieved by using any of the alcohol or alcohol free hand sanitisers that we offer; this also eliminates the need for access to water and hand towels.
