Hand Sanitiser for schools, colleges and universities
Encouraging our children to wash their hands has been a constant lesson throughout the Covid-19 pandemic; hand sanitation in schools has never been so crucial in the UK. ClearWater Hygiene has supported the education sector throughout the pandemic by supplying hand sanitiser to schools, universities and other educational settings.
Hand sanitiser is not an outright replacement for washing hands as it is less effective when hands are visibility dirty or greasy. It is best practice to use soap and water to remove dirt, grease and germs first.
When to encourage students to wash their hands?
Ensure your students sanitise their hands before:
- Eating
- Touching an open wound such as a cut or scrape
- Touching their mouth, nose or eyes
It would help if you also encouraged your students to sanitise their hands after:
- Going to the bathroom.
- After touching playground equipment.
- If they have touched an animal or school pet.
- After they have touched garbage.
- They have eaten food.
- After they’ve touched a communal surface.

When to offer students hand sanitiser?
The spread of germs and bacteria is rife in education settings, where pupils and students interact in close proximity. While teachers will be asking students to wash their hands thoroughly throughout the day, hand sanitiser is the perfect way to maintain excellent hygiene in the education setting. Hand sanitiser is the primary back up when you can’t get to soap and water.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol content. Placed at key entry points, staff, students, and visitors can easily get into the habit of cleaning their hands on entering the building. Students can also be offered hand sanitiser before they enter the classroom.
Why hand sanitation is crucial for your school?
Frequent hand sanitation is reported to increase attendance and educational achievement. Good hygiene practices help ensure children are healthy so that they can attend class and learn. Children across the globe are missing a cumulative total of 272 million school days each year – hand washing can reduce school absenteeism caused by influenza, diarrhoea and other contagious illnesses too.
How can you help students with their hand sanitation?
Proper handwashing is the number one way to stop germs from spreading. Hand sanitiser can ensure hands are well sanitised to prevent the transmission of germs and bacteria in the classroom. Demonstrate these five easy steps to your students for washing hands:
- Wet hands with clean, running water, then apply soap.
- Lather hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to get in between fingers, around the thumbs, underneath the nails and on the backs of the hands.
- Scrub hands for at least 20 seconds – you can even sing a jingle to motivate students to encourage complete handwashing.
- Rinse hands well under clean, running water.
- Make sure hands are thoroughly dry.
The same principles apply to cleaning hands with hand sanitiser:
- Use the amount of rub indicated on the bottle or released by the dispenser.
- Make sure you rub the sanitiser all over your hands and then work it well between your fingers and under your fingernails.
- Rub for at least 20 seconds until your hands feel dry (rub is far better for this than gels).
- Don't rinse your hands afterwards, they are now clean and sanitised.
As students and teachers are returning to schools, college and university campuses, you can ensure they are kept covid safe and secure. Without a doubt, you will already have plans to reduce the risk of Covid-19 within the classroom setting; these will most likely include strategies to maintain good health and hygiene in your setting.
