Glo Germ UV Hand Hygiene Training Lotion / Gel 237ml (8oz)
Couldn't load pickup availability
Glo Germ Gel 8oz provides a simple and effective way to demonstrate the importance of thorough handwashing. Designed to simulate the presence of germs on the hands, the fluorescent gel allows trainers and participants to visualise contamination that would normally be invisible.
The gel is applied evenly to the hands, including between the fingers and around the fingernails. Under a suitable UV light, the training material fluoresces bright blue-white, allowing participants to see how simulated contamination is distributed.
After washing with soap and water, the hands are inspected again under UV light. Any remaining fluorescent material highlights areas where the gel has not been completely removed, providing immediate visual feedback on handwashing technique.
This practical approach helps demonstrate why simply washing the hands is not always enough and why thorough coverage, correct technique and attention to commonly missed areas are important. Glo Germ has been used as a hygiene education brand since 1968, making it a recognised name in fluorescent contamination simulation and handwashing training.

How Glo Germ Gel Works
Glo Germ Gel uses fluorescent material to make simulated contamination visible under UV light.
During a training exercise, participants apply the gel to their hands and inspect them under a suitable UV light before washing. The fluorescence demonstrates where the training material is present.
After washing, participants inspect their hands again. Any areas that continue to fluoresce indicate that some of the training gel remains, helping identify where handwashing technique could be improved. The exercise can be repeated to demonstrate the difference that more thorough handwashing makes.
How to Use
- Apply: Dispense a small amount of Glo Germ Gel onto the hands.
- Rub in: Spread the gel across all areas, including the fingertips, thumbs, backs of the hands and between the fingers.
- Inspect: Examine the hands under a suitable UV light to see the fluorescent training material.
- Wash: Wash thoroughly using soap and water.
- Re-inspect: Return the hands to the UV light to identify any remaining fluorescent material.
The results can be discussed with participants to reinforce correct handwashing technique.
Practical Hand Hygiene Training
Glo Germ Gel helps turn handwashing instruction into an interactive learning exercise. Although hands may appear clean after washing, remaining fluorescent material can show that some areas have received insufficient attention.
This is particularly useful for highlighting commonly missed locations, including the thumbs, fingertips, between the fingers and around the fingernails. By allowing participants to assess their own results, the exercise supports practical learning and provides a clear demonstration of the importance of effective hand hygiene.
Safety and Storage
Glo Germ Gel is intended for external hygiene training use only. The manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet does not classify the product as hazardous under the US OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. However, skin and eye irritation may occur, so the product should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid contact with the eyes and clothing, as staining may occur. Keep the product out of reach of children when not being used for supervised training. Store in a cool, dry place, protect from freezing and follow the manufacturer's storage guidance.
