Everyone thinks they know how to wash their hands but it's common that we don't do as good a job as we think we do. GlitterBug products help to teach good hand hygiene by visually demonstrating to students when their current techniques are not effective. GlitterBug Potion is applied to hands and rubbed in all over, including the wrist. It dries invisible. When they wash their hands, the GlitterBug Potion will be removed with good handwashing technique. However, the Potion will still be present on any areas that are missed by the washing, and this will show up under UV light. Commonly, the palms will be well cleaned, but the finger webbing, nail beds, wrists and edge of the hand will still show leftover Potion. It's a great example of how areas around rings hold potential bacteria and viruses.
Don’t get complacent about COVID19!
