High Speed Handwashing

“We usually ‘sanitize’ our hands before lunch. Now we can wash up
quickly.”
In October, 13 elementary school classrooms and a local childcare
center participated in learning how to "High Speed Handwash." While
the method may sound too fast to give hands a thorough cleaning, it
does just the opposite. Classrooms of 20 (and more) youth are able to
have all students have a quality handwash in 3 minutes or less, before
eating snacks and lunches.
In a group setting, high speed handwashing saves time, saves water,
and allows each individual to scrub their hands longer, for better
cleanliness in the end.

Better handwashing ultimately leads to better health for the students,
and their families.

K-State Research and Extension is committed to making its services, activities and programs
accessible to all participants. If you have special requirements due to a physical, vision or hearing
