Professional hand hygiene

Hand hygiene is one of the most important preventive measures to avoid infections. This is how the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the German government's official advisor on health, describes it. In other words: it is the best thing you can do to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.

It is important that you wash your hands frequently in combination with soap and water, and then dry them thoroughly afterwards.

HAND HYGIENE – TIPS AND INSIGHTS

In every washroom you enter you encounter a different form of hand drying, such as hot-air dryers, cotton towels or paper towels.

But which of these methods is the safest and most hygienic way to dry hands?

Several scientific studies prove that hand drying with paper towels is the most hygienic way.

1. Bacteria left on the hands after washing are not blown into the room.
2. Each paper towel is used only once. This means you do not come into contact with the bacteria of the person who dried their hands before you.
3. Paper towels have an abrasive effect, which means that the bacteria left behind are removed and thrown away when the hand is dried with the paper towel.
4. The paper towel can also be used to close the water tap if there is no water tap with sensor.

   This also prevents you from coming into contact with the bacteria of previous users.
