Turn hygiene training into an engaging hands-on investigation with the GlitterBug® Germ Detective Training Kit. Designed especially for schools, education settings, and interactive hygiene demonstrations, this fun and visual kit helps children and learners discover how germs and contamination can spread across surfaces, hands, and shared spaces.
Using GlitterBug® fluorescent powder and a UV torch, participants become “Germ Detectives”, investigating hidden contamination that cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. The glowing powder creates a powerful visual demonstration of how easily germs can transfer between people, desks, door handles, classroom equipment, and other everyday surfaces.
Perfect for science activities, hygiene education, infection prevention lessons, food safety awareness, and interactive classroom workshops, the kit helps make learning memorable, practical, and fun.
The included brush is used to lightly dust GlitterBug® Powder onto surfaces or objects. Once participants have cleaned the area, the UV torch reveals any glowing residue left behind, highlighting spots that were missed during cleaning.
