Hand hygiene is essential to a healthy learning environment.

Absenteeism robs students of learning time. One of the challenges you face in helping kids achieve their fullest potential is keeping students ready and able to learn. The CDC states that hand hygiene is one of the most important steps in preventing illness.

GOJO® makes Hand Hygiene as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. PURELL®, America’s #1 instant hand sanitizer, makes it easier to create your healthy learning environment. Absenteeism was reduced by 51% in classrooms that used PURELL® and implemented a hand hygiene program versus classrooms that did not.1

The touch-free dispenser and a foam formula encourage use. Place it in classrooms, lunchrooms and other shared areas. PURELL kills 99.99% of most common germs that may cause illness.

2. GOJO Foam Soap has a soft feel kids love – and that encourages use.

Refills are SANITARY SEALED™. Why? A recent study by the University of Arizona on refillable bulk soap reservoir systems showed that 25% contained potentially harmful bacteria. GOJO factory-sealed refills are protected from contamination and each include a fresh nozzle. Easy-to-use GOJO® hand hygiene solution supports your commitment to achievement.

3. GOJO innovative educational materials help make wellness an everyday lesson.

The GOJO Hand Hygiene Program includes educational materials to make hand hygiene a regular part of your busy school day. Hand hygiene posters are available to use in classrooms and common areas. And GOJO has created curriculum for grades K - 5 to teach proper hand hygiene and its importance.
