FAQs

No. UV GERM products are design to ‘simulate’ contamination such as bacteria and microbes in a helpful and safe way.  The actual bacteria and microbes which may be present on skin are much too small to see with the naked eye and do not naturally fluoresce under UV light anyway.

Essentially mini kit 1 and the mini trainer are the same the only difference is that the mini trainer comes in a high-quality carry case. These kits are intended for occasional use with small groups. 

Kit 2 has a larger bottle of UV GERM Training Lotion 250ml compare to the 2 x 50ml bottles supplied with kits 1 and the mini trainer.  Kit 2 is best if you have to do a one off larger session (say a dozen people or more) and therefore may need more lotion from the outset.

The pump dispensers on the 250 and 500 ml bottles of UV GERM Training Lotion dispense approximately 1ml of lotion.  This should usually be adequate for the hands of children and ladies. larger hands will usually require 2 pumps of lotion to adequately cover both hands and wrists.  When estimating or budgeting for lotion consumption, remember it may take some people several attempts to get the hang of the hand washing method, so they will naturally consume more lotion in the process.

Cuddle Bugs are essentially touch-contact (uv) germ dispensers.  The microscopic ultra-fine particles are not normally visible to the human eye and are discreetly transferred on contact by electrostatic attraction. This basically means that whomever touches a primed cuddle bug will become ‘contaminated’ with uv germ particles themselves and begin the process of unwittingly cross-contamination others and the things they touch.  

Yes of course. We only use safe, non-toxic ingredients in our products. Click here for our MSDS Safety Data Sheets.

Absolutely.  We have a range of products designed for this purpose:  UV GERM powders, spray, markers and grease.  Each product deploys non-toxic, ultra-fine, invisible particles which fluoresce bright under UV black light.  These microscopic particles freely transfer on contact (cross-contaminate) effectively demonstrating  the basic principles of cross-contamination (cross-infection) in a safe and harmless way.

The UV light sources we use are low-power, long wave UV black lights which are completely safe when used as instructed.  However, as with all forms of electrically-powered light sources, you should never look directly into the light source.

Yes it can. However, whilst we cannot guarantee that nobody will ever have a reaction to our lotion, we have done everything possible to reduce such a possibility from the outset, such as using only safe, non-toxic, hypoallergenic ingredients as well making it paraben-free and fragrance-free.  In the extremely rare instance where someone does have a reaction, then they should stop using the lotion and simply observe a colleague undergoing the training process.

Before training establish if any attendee has sensitive skin or a history of skin reactions. If so you should test for a possible reaction before training, or ask them to abstain if they prefer.

UV GERM Lotion has a shelf life of 12 months from purchase.

Sure, the process of applying hand-sanitising gel properly is almost identical to the process of washing hands properly only in reverse!  

We now have a Hand Rub Application Training Gel available for just this purpose.
