Lessons in hand hygiene
24 October 2016
With preparations for the new school term well underway, it is crucial that all new pupils are taught good hand hygiene habits in order to minimise the spread of common, contagious infections such as colds and flu.

As more lessons seek to inspire and engage their pupils by progressing from the classroom to the great outdoors, teaching staff need to provide hand washing facilities.
Manty Stanley, MD at Teal Patents, says: “During play time, bacteria can spread easily from pupil to pupil. As we approach the next school term and anticipate the arrival of the new cohort of pupils, it is essential that pupils are educated on good hand hygiene and the perils of poor habits from a young age.”
In support of teachers and pupils alike, TEAL Patents has created the Kiddiwash range, hand washing facilities designed exclusively for smaller hands. Portable and lightweight, the units can be located wherever and whenever a warm-water hand wash is needed.
The Kiddisynk can hold up to eight litres of warm water. It is a freestanding unit which can be wheeled into position. It has a ‘Flippi-tap’ which makes it suitable for small hands. As the unit requires no access to mains water, drainage or electrical sockets, the Kiddisynk can be situated at the point of need.
The Kiddiwash Xtra is the teacher’s accessory for indoor or outdoor use. The unit is lightweight and portable providing young pupils with the gold standard of hand hygiene wherever it might be needed. Providing a minimum of 15 handwashes per filling, the Kiddiwash Xtra makes hand hygiene fun and educational.
