GlitterBug Potion
For Hand Washing Training
Empower your teaching with this effective tool for illustrating the significance of thorough handwashing to students. Students simply apply it like moisturizer, wash their hands, and then use the UV torch to uncover any glowing residue left on their wrists, in their nail beds, and between their fingers. Help your students understand and practice effective handwashing habits more easily.
