Glo Germ UV Hand Training Oil 250ml

Regular price £29.99 GBP
(£35.99 inc VAT)

Glo Germ Oil is a professional-grade fluorescent training product designed to demonstrate hand contamination and the importance of effective handwashing. Its original oil-based formulation simulates the presence of germs on the hands and fluoresces bright orange under UV light, revealing areas where training material remains after washing.

Supplied in a 250ml bottle, it is particularly suited to healthcare, infection prevention, food hygiene and professional handwashing training.

Description

Glo Germ Oil 250ml provides a practical way to demonstrate how easily simulated contamination can remain on the hands after washing. Developed as Glo Germ's original professional-grade formulation, the oil is designed to provide a realistic demonstration of hand contamination and the importance of thorough handwashing.

When applied to the hands, the fluorescent training material becomes visible under a suitable UV light, glowing bright orange to show where simulated contamination is present.

Participants then wash their hands using soap and water before inspecting them again under UV light. Any remaining fluorescence indicates areas where the training material has not been fully removed, providing immediate visual feedback on the effectiveness of their handwashing technique.

The manufacturer describes Glo Germ Oil as its professional-grade product and particularly recommends it for medical training where a more realistic simulation of germs is required. This makes it a useful educational tool for organisations delivering structured hand hygiene training, infection prevention programmes and practical hygiene demonstrations.

Professional Hand Hygiene Training

Glo Germ describes its original oil formulation as the product that most accurately represents germs on the hands within its range. This makes the oil particularly useful for training exercises where the objective is to demonstrate how contamination can remain on the skin despite apparently thorough handwashing.

The fluorescent material allows trainers and participants to identify missed areas and discuss the importance of effective handwashing techniques. By providing a visible result, Glo Germ Oil helps turn hand hygiene instruction into a practical exercise that participants can assess for themselves.

How Glo Germ Oil Works

The oil contains fluorescent training material that glows bright orange under suitable UV illumination. When the product is spread across the hands, the fluorescence shows where the simulated contamination is present.

After washing with soap and water, the hands are inspected again. Any remaining fluorescent material highlights areas where the oil has not been fully removed. This makes it possible to demonstrate how handwashing technique can affect the removal of simulated contamination.

How to Use

  1. Apply: Dispense a small amount of Glo Germ Oil onto the hands.
  2. Rub in: Spread evenly over the hands, including between the fingers and around the fingernails.
  3. Inspect: Place the hands under a suitable UV light to reveal the bright orange fluorescence.
  4. Wash: Wash thoroughly using soap and water.
  5. Re-inspect: Check the hands again under UV light to identify any remaining fluorescent material.

The exercise can be repeated to demonstrate improvements in handwashing technique.

Glo Germ Oil vs Glo Germ Gel

Although both products are used to demonstrate handwashing effectiveness, Glo Germ Oil and Glo Germ Gel have different formulations and fluorescence colours.

  • Glo Germ Oil is the original professional-grade formulation. It fluoresces bright orange and is particularly recommended by the manufacturer for medical training where a more realistic simulation of germs is required.
  • Glo Germ Gel fluoresces blue-white and provides another option for practical handwashing education.
  • Both products allow participants to inspect their hands under UV light before and after washing, helping identify areas where training material remains.

Safety and Storage

Glo Germ Oil is intended for external hygiene training use only.

The supplier describes the product as non-toxic when used as intended, but advises avoiding contact with the eyes and clothing, as staining may occur. Keep out of reach of children when not in use and follow the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet and instructions.
