The Alarming Truth.jpg)
According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), cleaning our hands is the single most important thing we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading illness to others. In spite of this, surveys have shown that significant percentages of both men and women fail to even wash their hands after using public restrooms! And those that do wash are faced with the prospect of contracting diseases from infected doorknobs, handles and other devices.
Many choose to use paper towels to avoid contact of these areas, but that can pose another problem! Paper towels often end up as litter, when customers fail to "hit their targets," both in and outside the restroom, enhancing the potential spread of germs to employees who must "cleanup" afterwards. With the increased prevalence of contagious skin infections and the threat of pandemic influenzas and other infections, there has never been a more urgent need to take positive action in combating the spread of germs through hand contact with "dirty" door knobs.
