Hand Care Tips From GOJO

Companies that rely on people’s hands to get work done in tough environments can benefit from providing education at their wash basins, according to hand care specialists at GOJO Industries.

Healthy hands begin with quality skin care. Do's include:

• Use professional-grade skin conditioner before and after work. 
• Wash regularly with the industrial hand cleaner designed for specific workplace soils. 
• Use the gentlest cleaner that is effective. 
• Wash hands in warm water. 
• Use wipes for in-between cleanup. 
• Keep tools clean to help keep hands clean.

Some don’ts:

• Never use harsh detergents, solvents or chemicals to clean skin. 
• Don’t use regular bar soap if your hands are greasy and grimy, as weak soap can cause you to scrub too hard. 
• Don’t use abrasives or brushes not designed for skin. 
• Never put dirty hands into gloves.
