This hand washing sign was unbelievable. In fact, you have to read it twice to fully appreciate what they are saying. Don’t get me wrong. I am all for signs about washing hands. I sell Glitterbug for hand washing training. But this sign was just too good to be true: In case you missed it […]

The Hand Hygiene Australia website, commissioned by The Australian Commission on Quality and Safety in Health Care, explains the 5 moments of Hand Hygiene (which I will be writing about later this week).

School hand washing training with GlitterBug
Hand washing training can be FUN. That’s why I don’t understand why we haven’t received a massive order from the education system to use Glitterbug hand washing training in schools. Having had my children all make it through kindergarten I know that they are all taught some basic hygiene. But what better way is there […]
Pre-school hand washing training with GlitterBug
Earlier, I asked why Glitterbug hand washing training wasn’t in schools. Today I want to know why Glitterbug hand washing training in preschools isn’t standard? It is so much fun to use. It beats just trying to tell kids how important it is. It can be a part of a game, or a contest. It […]

Remember the ad? Wash your hands Jeffery, with the Solvol Jeffery. How often and when should I wash my hands? If you were Jeffery it was only when you were coming inside after a hard day playing in the garden, and when your mother told you. The basics for good hand hygiene are: after going […]
