Here are a few more tips on bringing home the point of hand washing.

1. Purchase some of that glow-in-the dark powder and put some on a door knob into the training room. About halfway through the presentation, darken the room and go around with a portable UV lamp and see what's glowing...all the while talking about hand cleanliness
2. When your staff use gloves, do they know the correct way to take them off. Give them a mixture of catsup and shaving cream. Show they the correct way to take off their gloves. See who get the stuff on themselves...oh, put the mixture on their hands and have them stand while you talk about glove removal and to show them. Chances are someone will adjust their glasses or touch themselves with the gloves on.
3. When washing your hands, sing “Happy Birthday” to yourself. It will give you the correct timing for a thorough washing.
