Handwashing is one
of the most important lessons children should learn, and one that they should
carry well into adulthood. Simple handwashing can prevent all sorts of diseases
and the spread of certain types of illnesses. When children are taught to wash
their hands frequently both at home and in school, the value of hand hygiene
will not be lost on them even as they grow older.
Hand washing is an
essential and lifelong skill—a fact that cannot be stressed enough. However,
educating children about the importance of hand hygiene isn’t enough to help
them acquire the habit of frequent and proper hand washing. They need to be
provided with the right facilities so they can practice what they are being
taught. Portable sinks and hand washing units that are designed and adapted for
young children with shorter legs and smaller hands are great solutions for
instilling hand washing habits to children.
Portable hand washing sinks come in all kinds of shapes and designs, including
mobile wheeled units and other portable solutions that help create and maintain
germ-free school environments. Portable hand washing stations are also perfect
places for hanging and posting hand hygiene posters and other information about
the importance of hand washing. Investing in portable hand washing stations and
sinks is ideal as the ubiquity of these portable units all around our campus
will serve as a constant reminder for children to keep their hands clean. This
is especially true for schools that support outdoor learning. Additionally,
having separate hand washing stations apart from your comfort room facilities
help make sure that a functioning sink is always available for anyone who needs
a quick or thorough washing. Separate hand washing facilities also help on the
general maintenance of any school restroom set-up, especially since these
washing stations offer huge capacities before needing maintenance or
reservicing.
