How to wash your hands properly

For ordinary use, you should wash your hands for at least 30 seconds – a quick dip under a running tap is not enough. For office and home use I would recommend using soap like Blendwell Cleaning Solutions Pink Hand Soap. This is a good cleaner while still being gentle on the skin.

Wet your hands and apply soap.  Rub this soap between your palms and rub the top of your hands. Open your fingers of both hands and lock your hands together keeping your fingers straight. Move your hands up and down so that the spaces between your fingers are cleaned. Don’t forget to wash your thumbs. Also make sure to include your wrists and forearms. You may need to use a soft brush to clean your finger nails if they are dirty. Rinse all areas with fresh water when you’re done and dry thoroughly preferably with a disposable towel. If at home make sure your hand towel is changed out regularly to avoid recontamination.

This is a great method to teach your children and the earlier they start doing it the more of a habit it is for them. Even a child of two can manage to wash this way. For them, it’s quite fun and you can sing a little silly ‘wash your hands’ song as you do it with them.

Do you know how to wash your hands?

This may sound like a ridiculous question but many people are in too much of a hurry to clean their hands properly and they think a cleaning their hands only involves them quickly wetting their hands. This is not enough.  Then there are other people who believe in only using a soap with claims of being anti-bacterial. For ordinary household and office hand cleaning it is not necessary to go this far. There have also been studies that show that people who use a lot of anti-bacterial soap are also more likely to have skin problems like eczema and are therefore more likely to spread bacteria as it can then “hide” in the damaged areas of their skin. You would be better off with washing your hands often and you will be keeping them cleaner than occasional washing with a disinfectant soap.

Blendwell Cleaning Solutions makes a large range of hand cleaners and liquid hand soaps. Each of their hand cleaning products has been created for specific uses in different environments. It would be unnecessary and impractical to clean your hands before preparing dinner with an industrial hand cleaner. We also make some eco-friendly hand soaps.

Keeping hands clean no matter what you are doing is a simple and effective way to avoid diseases spreading. In the food industry this is even more important.

There are many diseases that can spread in food preparation areas if hands are not cleaned using proper washing procedures. The diseases that can be spread by dirty hands can cause a myriad of ailments.

The shigella bug can cause diarrhoea and streptococci can give you a sore throat. Haemophilus can cause pink eye to spread and streptococcus pneumoniae can give you pneumonia. Pseudomonas can infect wounds and Hepatitis A will cause jaundice and diarrhoea. Staphylococcus will create boils. E Coli and bacteroides will spread if hands are not washed after toilet use.

None of these germs need to be spread if hands are washed regularly and properly and good manufacturing procedures are followed.

Industrial Cleaning - Hand Cleaning - Part 4

Hand cleaning when working in a workshop or other industrial environment can be a huge headache. Ordinary soap and water will not be able to get through all the grease and grime the skin gets exposed to and aggressive scrubbing can be painful.

Blendwell Chemicals has created a hand cleaner that can help. Bead Hand Cleaner is a new type of gel hand cleaner. Some people find that a grit hand cleaner is harsh on their skin. These new poly beads are much gentler and are still very effective at removing ingrained dirt. The hand cleaner itself has also been upgraded and now contains coconut derivatives and lanolin for extra skin conditioning. Another advantage of this hand cleaner is that the beads float in water. When rinsing the product off your hands the drains will not get clogged with beads as they float away with the water.

Industrial Cleaning - Hand Cleaning - Part 3

Cleaning your hands is a normal part of anyone’s day. When you work in a factory or workshop a simple wash with soap and go will not be nearly enough to get rid of the grease your skin has been exposed to. Blendwell Chemicals manufactures a few different types of hand cleaners for those exposed to heavy grease.

One of our all time favourite hand cleaners is grit hand cleaner. This is a very thick hand cleaner that contains a fair amount of grit to aid cleaning and exfoliate the skin. Simply scoop a small amount from the bucket and rub into your hands. You will be able to feel the gritty bits working on the skin. When you are satisfied that your hands are clean, rinse off with water.

Blendwell Chemicals has designed a hand cleaner for this purpose and it’s called Gel Hand Cleaner. This hand cleaner is a thick cleaning product that you can scoop a small amount out of the container to clean your hands. You will need to rub this hand cleaner into your skin to be able to lift the grease and grime from your hands. It doesn’t contain really harsh chemicals to clean the skin.
