Hand Soap Dispenser

With all of the communicable diseases that are prevalent today, frequent hand washing is imperative.   Placing a convenient hand soap dispenser by the sink is a good way to promote hand hygiene.  The CDC states that hand washing is the most effective action that people can take to help reduce the spread of communicable illnesses.  The CDC recommends that the public “take action” and wash their hands more often.  Hands should be washed thoroughly with soap and water for 15 to 20 seconds.  Rinsing should be done from the washed forearm arm area or wrist area downward to the fingertips.  Hand hygiene is essential after having contact with the public and having contact with surfaces in public areas.  This would include shopping, working, hanging out, and any other activities outside the home.  Surfaces such as doorknobs and handles, shopping carts, handrails, chairs, etc. are covered with germs and bacteria.
