Hand washing education and fun since 2010!

Keeping our hands clean is a key step in staying healthy, according to the Department of Health “Hand hygiene is crucial in reducing transmission of infections” and the best option for effective hand washing, when they are visibly dirty, is to use warm, soapy water and ensure you cover all hand surfaces before rinsing and towel drying. Hand washing isn’t just good hygiene to help stop you getting sick, it’s a skill, one that you use every single day. Studies show that routines and habits are unlikely to vary after the age of 9, so it’s never too young to teach kids to be hand washing champions!
