GlitterBug® Hand Hygiene Training Starter Kit with 240ml UV Potion & UV Torch

Regular price £29.00 GBP
(£34.80 inc VAT)


Turn invisible germs into an unforgettable learning experience with this practical hand-hygiene training set. The kit includes a 240 ml bottle of fluorescent GlitterBug® Potion and a UV torch, giving you everything you need to visually demonstrate how effective hand washing really is.

Perfect for schools, food safety induction sessions, catering teams, and hygiene workshops, this starter set works in three simple steps: apply the potion, wash and dry hands as usual, then use the UV torch to reveal any missed areas. Under UV light, any spots left uncleaned glow brightly, making it easy to spot gaps in technique and help learners improve their habits.

DESCRIPTION

The Hygiene Training Starter Kit with Large GlitterBug® Potion is an engaging and effective way to demonstrate the importance of proper hand washing and hygiene practices. Designed for use in schools, healthcare environments, food handling settings, training centres, and workplace hygiene education, this kit makes hand hygiene training interactive, memorable, and easy to understand.

Using GlitterBug® fluorescent lotion and a UV torch, users can instantly see areas that have not been washed correctly after normal hand washing. The glowing residue highlights commonly missed areas such as fingertips, thumbs, around nails, and between fingers, helping users improve their hand washing technique and awareness.

This starter kit is ideal for infection control demonstrations, hygiene awareness training, HACCP education, classroom activities, NHS hand hygiene programmes, and food safety training sessions. The visual results create an immediate impact, making the learning experience both fun and highly effective for children and adults alike. Information about the kit contents and use is available on the product listing.

The large GlitterBug® Potion bottle provides over 200 applications, making it suitable for repeated demonstrations and group training sessions. The included UV forensic torch reveals any remaining lotion after washing, while the GlitterBug nail brush helps demonstrate the importance of cleaning under fingernails and hard-to-reach areas.

How to Use Glitterbug

Teach good hand hygiene - Magically!

GlitterBug is a product line that makes hand hygiene education interesting, fun, and memorable. The GlitterBug Potion is a fluorescent lotion that when used with a UV lamp makes it possible to see how well hands are washed. The GlitterBug Powder is used to see how contamination and germs can travel. GlitterBug Gel is an innovative product designed for teaching, testing and evaluating hand-sanitiser application technique.

It is perfect for schools, healthcare professionals and food-handling businesses. Ideal for use with our unique collection of training lamps, cabinets and kits.

How to use the Potion

Using the potion is a simple 3 step process:

  1. Ask the student to rub the potion on their hands.
  2. The student washes and dries their hands as normal.
  3. When placed under a UV lamp any areas not washed properly will show up - as if by magic!

For more information, please download:

How to use the Powder

Dust the powder on a sheet of paper and hand it round the room. A check with the UV lamp and you can demonstrate how easily powder (or germs) can be spread from person to person. Alternatively spread the powder on a work surface and ask someone to clean it. Again the UV light will show up any areas that have been missed. For more information, please download: GlitterBug Powder Datasheet.

How to use the Gel

Ask the student to rub the Gel on their hands as they would a hand sanitiser. When the hands are placed under a UV lamp any areas not covered properly will not glow. These are areas that in practice must be covered for a sanitiser to be effective. For more information, please download: GlitterBug Gel Datasheet

Accessories

We also offer a great selection of hand hygiene training support materials including reward medals, posters, stickers, DVDs and more.
