Teaching children to understand the importance of hand hygiene is an essential part of their education. The colourful eye-catching trims help highlight the importance of hand washing and hand drying in a fun and friendly manner, perfect for schools and nurseries.

A recent study by Initial Hygiene found that over 40% of children don’t wash there hands with soap after using the toilet. Dr Peter Barrett, Technical Manager from Initial Hygiene said: “These results are ‘alarming and that regular hand washing with soap has been proven to reduce the risk of many common pathogens such as Staphylococcus, E. Coli, Norovirus and influenza from being spread.”

The awareness to improve children’s hygiene principles is an important consideration for parents and carers when choosing a nursery of school for their child or children.

The Initial Hygiene’s range of children specific paper towel, toilet roll and wall mounted soap dispenser trims aim to engage children into improving their hygiene standards as well as creating a pleasant and healthy environment for everyone.
