1 “Show me the science – Why wash your hands?,” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, September 10, 2020) 2 “When and how to wash your hands,” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, September 1, 2020) When should you wash your hands? Frequently washing your hands for 20 seconds or longer is probably already part of your daily routine. But here are some additional guidelines from the CDC 2 to keep in mind about how frequently you should wash your hands. Wash your hands: • Before touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, because that’s how germs enter our bodies • Before and after caring for someone at who is sick • Before, during, and after preparing food • Before eating food • After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing • After touching garbage • After you have been in a public place where you touch items that are frequently touched by others – like door handles, gas pumps, and shopping carts
Sun Valley Hand Washes contain the same key ingredients as Sol-U-Guard Botanical to help you wash away germs. Our powerful duo of thyme oil and citric acid help to wash away germs without harsh ingredients. And because our hand washes are formulated with glycerin and aloe vera, they will keep your hands soft and healthy wash after wash.
Where are you worried about germs?
You probably associate Sol-U-Guard with kitchen and bathroom surfaces, but when it comes to safeguarding your family don’t forget about these often overlooked areas: • Work desks • Keyboard/mouse • Doorknobs • Light switches • Remote controls • Car handles (inside and out) • Steering wheels • Plastic toys
Hand washing backed by science
Multiple studies reviewed by the CDC 1 show that washing hands properly significantly reduces the risk of spreading germs and getting sick. Here are scientifically proven best practices for properly washing your hands. • Wash for at least 20 seconds. Scrubbing both sides of your hand, between fingers, and under fingernails with soap creates the friction needed to remove the most microbes and dirt. • Use hot or cold running water. You run the risk of recontamination if you use standing water to wash and rinse hands. Studies show no difference in the number of microbes washed away just by using warmer water. • Thoroughly dry hands with a clean towel. Wet hands transfer germs more easily than dry ones.
