Glow and show kits

Glow and Show kits consist of a hand-held UV light and iridescent powder and cream. The powder and cream simulate germs. The ease with which germs can be spread is demonstrated by putting either the cream or powder on hands and participants then touch their surroundings or colleagues.

The kits can be used by any group or organisation where hand hygiene is important or can be taught to others.   For example, care home staff, schools, food businesses and scout groups.   Knowing how to wash your hands properly and effectively is a very important way of reducing the risk of transferring germs between people or throughout the environment.  This in turn may reduce infections and the need for antibiotics.
