Smarter People Always Enjoy This Life

Juvenile Wash Fountains are often slightly smaller versions of proven and popular wash fountains for adults. Obviously, they have a lower height and some multi-bowl wash fountains have dual bowls with different heights. And since children have shorter arms the bowls may have smaller diameters. But virtually all wash fountains for children have the same features as the larger versions for adults.

Children’s Handwash Sinks

Juvenile Wash Fountains are important for children’s hygiene but equally important is the hand washing habits of children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have stated that the best way to prevent infection and avoid colds and flues is to properly wash your hands with soap and water. It is estimated by some experts that 80% of all infections are transmitted by the hands. And the most recent data available suggests that children lose twenty-two million school days every year due to the common cold. Adults should set good examples for children and practice hand washing after using the bathroom, before preparing food, before eating, after handling uncooked poultry and meat, after coughing, sneezing, or blowing their nose, after changing diapers, and any time the hands are dirty. Similarly, children should be taught to always wash their hands after using the bathroom, after coughing, sneezing, or blowing their noses, before eating, and whenever their hands are dirty.

Wash Fountains for Children

Children should be taught the proper steps of hand washing when using Juvenile Wash Fountains. They should wet their hands with warm water and apply soap. All surfaces of the hands should be rubbed together to make a lather. The rubbing process should last from fifteen to twenty seconds. To help children time the process it can be suggested that they sing a simple song such as “Happy Birthday.” The hands should then be rinsed well under running water. The hands should then be dried with a paper towel or air dryer. If paper towels are available they can be used to turn off a manually operated faucet. This will help prevent transmission of diseases. If soap is not available then an alcohol-based hand rub is a good substitute.
