School

Instant hand sanitizers can do the job, but only for an instant

Studies have shown that the dirtiest thing in any classroom is the community pencil sharpener. And millions more germs live and thrive on drinking fountains, water faucets in sinks, light switches, paper towel dispensers, in the bathrooms, on door handles, coat racks, crayons, silly putty, kick balls, gym showers, desks, lockers, the list goes on. Anything kids touch, handle or share then becomes a free ride for germs on their hands to get inside classrooms, in the hallways, the cafeteria and on the schoolyard. Even when classrooms are regularly cleaned and disinfected, germs persist and during peak cold and flu season, they’re all but impossible to stop. Read more >>

Home

Instant hand sanitizers can do the job, but only for an instant

In a perfect world, mom and dad can get a pretty good handle on the problem of germs at home by using disinfectants, demanding regular hand washings, and of course, keeping pets as clean as possible. But what happens when mom, dad, and the kids come home from a full day at work or school or play after interacting with people who aren’t quite as germ-conscious, or after eating lunch out, or handling money, or using a public restroom, taking the train, taking the bus, etc.? Germs can remain alive on surfaces for up to 2 hours. Plenty of time for mom, dad and the kids to pick them up and bring them home, then transfer them to the phone, the TV remote, the frig handle, the computer, bathroom faucet, stair railing, counter tops, you name it.

Eating Out

Instant hand sanitizers can do the job, but only for an instant

Whether in front of the house or in the back, food safety and strict food handling procedures have become a top priority in the food industry. But can you be absolutely certain all the proper procedures are being followed by your employees, particularly when it comes to good hand hygiene practices? Multiple studies show that compliance with health department requirements for hand washing remains below 50%. Even after washing their hands, the simple act of turning off a faucet, touching the towel dispenser, even opening a door can jeopardize an employee’s hygiene, and your management program. What you need is a safety zone of protection that will help you maintain a germ free environment. Read more >>

Office

Instant hand sanitizers can do the job, but only for an instant

The most common way colds and flu are spread at work is by thousands of infinitesimal, invisible micro-organisms that come to rest on surfaces like a desk, a phone, office copiers, conference tables, doorknobs, the coffee machine, computer keyboards, etc., then continue to live up to 2 hours or more waiting for someone else to come along.

On the Go

Instant hand sanitizers can do the job, but only for an instant

The longer you’re on a packed airplane, the greater the chance you’ll walk off sick. While most travelers will blame anything they pick up on stale recycled air, most planes now have AC systems that filter germs out while letting some outside air in. Today, you stand a better chance of getting sick by touching any number of surfaces on a plane that carry germs with your hands.

SkinWear stops dirt, grease, grime and more for up to 8 hours

How do you best protect your hands against grease and grime, glues and resins, oil, paint and more? The answer is, don’t let any of these soiling agents get embedded in your hands in the first place. It’s not the clean-up that’s important, it’s the prevention. While gloves do a reasonably good job, they’re cumbersome, uncomfortable and hot. The most effective way is by allowing the outer layer of skin to protect the deeper layers beneath them. This is done by moisturizing the outer layer of skin and keeping it moisturized. Common hand lotions that promise protection don’t have the staying power, leaving hands dry and unprotected in minutes. Is there a magic product out there? The answer is yes. Read more >>

Cruise Ships

Instant hand sanitizers work, but only for an instant

Shaking hands isn’t the only way germs that cause infection can be spread aboard ship. Touching contaminated surfaces or objects is, in fact, the most common way germs are spread, or having direct contact with another person who is infected, sharing foods with them, even sharing eating utensils.
