specifically designed for Infection Control

Based on Starglow Invisible
UV Revealing Technology,
these new tools will help you target and eliminate key
hygiene problems, and establish pro-active measures to
maintain higher hygiene standards.
|
With 'Wash

the key 'hygiene' risks and 'bad practices'
within their organisations. |
|

Its a
Simple Solution
to a Simple Problem
It may not be
rocket science but the simple every-day task of washing hands leaves a lot
to be desired. Yet without the correct instruction (with some form of
visual re-enforcement) it is unlikely that an un-trained individual or child, will
actually achieve truly clean hands after washing!
For those who
work in the Medical professions or food preparation and handling,
unclean, un-hygienic hands can lead to customer / patient infections, with potentially
serious health implications for the customer / patient and possibly legal repercussions for the
employer!
Wash & Glow is
a memorable and fun way of demonstrating just how easily
bacteria and contaminants are transferred and the correct
way to ensure hands are washed and properly cleaned.
Each kit contains
the essential components for effective Infection Control Hygiene demonstration and training.
The
Importance of Effective
Hand Washing
When
performed
correctly, hand washing is the single most effective
way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Good hand washing
technique is easy to learn and can significantly reduce the spread of
infectious diseases among both children and adults.

Did you know?
|
 |
Around 20% of women and
40% of men don't
wash their hands after using a public loo! |
|
|
|
|
|
90% of germs on hands are found under
the nails. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
The number of bacteria can double in 20 minutes
and after one
day without hand washing; a single bacterium can multiply 2 billion,
trillion times. |
-
We have between 2 and 10 million
bacteria between fingertip and elbow
-
Damp hands spread 1,000 times more
germs than dry hands
-
The number of germs on your
fingertips doubles after you use the toilet
-
Germs can stay alive on hands for
up to three hours
-
Millions of germs
hide under watches and bracelets and there could be as
many germs under your ring as there are people in
Europe.

Hygiene Inspection
Kit
Hand washing
only addresses part of the larger Hygiene problem. Ensuring a clean working
environment is essential to maintaining acceptable hygiene levels.
Using
UV GERM products to create a series of harmless invisible 'Check Zones'. Cleaners can be
easily and frequently tested, to see if they are as effective and diligent as
you would expect.

Random UV GERM
'Check Zones' will help reveal and eliminate poor cleaning
practice... |

Wash
& Glow Hygiene Inspection
Kit |
Starglow
UV-R Technology
at Work
Inside each UV
GERM product is the magic active ingredient; Invisible
Starglow UV-Revealing
Particles; amazing microscopic germ-like dots which under normal lighting
conditions are invisible to the eye and are completely safe and
non-toxic .

Does this hand
look clean?

|
Seeing is Believing...
The core active
ingredient in all our Hygiene Demo Kits is the Starglow
Invisible UV-Revealing
Particles,
which when discreetly applied to skin, clothing or work surfaces,
will be invisibly transferred from
Person-to-Person
or
Surface-to-Person.
|
However when
exposed to a
UV Blacklight; they will fluoresce brightly and clearly, to indicate the
scope of 'contamination' that has occurred, and to reveal the potential bacteria
that remains after washing (even on the towel!)
Why Starglow UV GERM
Technology?
Unlike some
other producers of Hand Washing training materials, Glowtec only use
High-Performing Starglow UV Revealing Particles
and not UV Brighteners / Whiteners similar to those used in
washing powders.
Unlike UV
Whiteners which give off a 'Bluey white' glow under UV Light. Starglow UV-R
particles glow Bright Green, for a more
accurate simulation experience and one
which provides a far more distinctive and pleasing effect under Blacklight.
