Never forget to wash your hands! Whether for reasons of sheer convenience or because their thoughts are completely elsewhere: many washroom users simply hold their hands under the tap rather than taking the time to wash them properly. And around just 30 percent of them use soap on average. However, the corona pandemic in particular is making it clear how important it is to wash hands thoroughly and with soap on a regular basis in order to break possible chains of infection.

Hygienic handwashing with CWS Smart Wash Plus
The Coronavirus pandemic highlights the importance of washing your hands thoroughly and regularly with soap.

This is where the SmartWash Plus hygiene package from CWS comes into play, complementing the innovative CWS SmartWash mixer tap with a digital mirror. Animations on its surface prompt washroom users to wash their hands and guide them through the correct cleaning process. The market launch in Europe was in mid-July.

The highlight: the mixer tap's settings and the animation are coordinated. As soon as a washroom users’ hands approach the mixer tap's motion sensor, a mixture of soap and water automatically flows out of the tap. At the same time, all the steps involved in correct handwashing are displayed one after the other on the mirror – from lathering and rubbing the hands vigorously together right through to rinsing them. After that the smart mirror then prompts the washroom user to dry their hands. The patented mixing technology acts sustainably as well – saving up to 90 percent water and up to 60 percent soap.

The soap supply lasts 1.5 times longer than with a conventional dispenser with soap tank.

"With the SmartWash Plus, CWS is once again presenting itself as provider of sophisticated, effective hygiene solutions," says Karolin Rohmer, Director Group Product Lines Hygiene & Floorcare at CWS. "Washroom operators get a sustainable, innovative, hygienic and digital package that provides added support for their own hygiene concept. They actively assist their guests and customers in terms of thorough hand hygiene, and in doing so play an active part in breaking the chain of infection at the same time."

The CWS SmartWash Plus hygiene package is suitable for companies and businesses of all sizes. The retail trade, offices, the catering industry as well as transport hubs such as airports, railway stations or motorway service areas likewise benefit from the end-to-end hygiene system.
