The link to the whole story was in the intro. It seemed to be a study that was more scientific than some and I just wanted to share it. With the flu season getting ready to whack us again and the new H1N1 added in we need all the help we can get this year.
Yes, they can be. I love the air dryers. Bump them with your elbow to start them and you leave the restroom germ free...that is if you use your hip to open the door.
I agree. It becomes more important everyday. Carry some sanitizer in your purse and offer it to the ones that come back with dry hands. As the study showed if they think someone is watching and noticing they are more likely to do it. We just need to help them get into the habit.
In this study the results were based on sensors on the soap. They didn't have antibacterial wash in the loos so I don't think the results stats were skewed.
Hand-washing is the cheapest way of controlling disease but less than one-third of men and two-thirds of women wash their hands with soap after going to the toilet, a British study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed.
