Household hand hygiene

Protect your loved ones from infection

Whenever you come home, you should reserve the first minutes to hand hygiene: wash your hands to prevent bacteria and viruses from spreading into your home. Microbes are carried on the hands from work, day-care, school, public spaces and transport, etc.

Hygiene starts with healthy skin

In hand hygiene, it is important to consider skin health. Every wash reduces the natural protection of skin by drying it, and constant washing can cause skin to peel, especially for people with sensitive skin. Strong washing products upset the physiological balance of the skin, and it is advisable to wear protective gloves when using such products or when doing the dishes. Regular use of hand lotion restores the moisture balance and prevents premature ageing of the skin. Remember to also wear lotion to protect your hands against the sun and gloves to protect them against the cold.

Clean surfaces support hand hygiene

Cleanliness is something you should never compromise on at home. Sufficiently frequent and extensive periodic cleaning ensures a clean and pleasant environment. Careful cleaning of contact surfaces in particular reduces the transmission risk of bacteria and viruses.
