Protecting those close to you is essential during the crisis our nation now finds itself in. A new emphasis has been put on hygiene and now more than ever we need to take care of ourselves and each other!
Hand sanitiser has been a popular product in the UK since it made the move from hospital wards to high streets and since the beginning of the global pandemic, it’s been a very difficult product to “get your hands on”, so to speak.
During a typical day at work you’re likely to come into contact with lots of germs and bacteria. If you travel on public transport to and from work you might not always have access to a suitable area in which to wash your hands, this is when a 70-90% alcohol-based hand sanitiser gel is a suitable alternative.
Hand Sanitiser gel can be used when you’re out and about in the absence of water to eliminate commonly occurring bacteria and viruses that are known to be highly transmissible and can result in infections and illnesses.
Making your own hand sanitiser isn't recommended. Alcohol is the main active ingredient and too much on your skin can damage your hands, as well as stripping your skin of its natural oils. It is a difficult process to get the balance right, and so health experts warn that you're better off washing your hands with soap or buying a hand sanitising gel that meets EN safety standards.
The alcohol-based hand sanitiser available at Work & Wear Direct comes in a liquid form that rapidly evaporates and moisturises leaving the skin feeling clean, soft and smooth. The formulation follows the World Health Organisation Formula 1, which has been tested by WHO reference laboratories according to EN standards (EN 1500).
Hand sanitiser gel and wipes are available to buy from Work & Wear Direct at exceptionally competitive prices. Call us on 01702 553698 to find out more.
