While many of us have adopted a more rigorous approach to hand washing and sanitising, a recent study conducted by Zidac Laboratories showed that not everyone is living by the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/healthy-body\/best-way-to-wash-your-hands\/\">guidance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although hand sanitiser is now readily available in shops, restaurants and bars around the country, many people are still not carrying hand sanitiser with them when they leave the house.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some shocking stats which might make you think twice about leaving the hand sanitiser at home.<\/p>\n<p>In a study of 2,000 adults from across the UK, it was found that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>29% of respondents admitted to having sneezed or coughed into their hands whilst holding onto a handrail on public transport<\/li>\n<li>Only 50% of respondents said they carry hand sanitiser with them when visiting a supermarket<\/li>\n<li>A meagre 36% of respondents said they carry hand sanitiser when visiting a restaurant<\/li>\n<li>And only 30% of respondents said they carry hand sanitiser with them when going to a pub or bar<\/li>\n<li>In total, 65% of respondents admitted they sanitise before entering a bar or restaurant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When it came to animals and pets, our respondents revealed that 29% of owners never wash their pets, however, 58% of people wash their hands after petting their furry friend<\/p>\n<p>For parents of school children, only 51% felt comfortable sending their kids back to school, with 37% admitting they were nervous. While children aren\u2019t known for their cleanliness, with the right <a href=\"https:\/\/meyershop.wpengine.com\/introducing-hand-sanitiser-to-kids\/\">guidance<\/a> they can learn how to use hand sanitiser to stay safe and protected from germs and bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all bad though, the study also revealed that since the advent of COVID-19, 74% of people are warier of making sure they clean their hands.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear people need to remain vigilant and stay healthy by washing their hands regularly and using an <a href=\"https:\/\/meyershop.wpengine.com\/product\/1x-antibacterial-hand-gel-standard\/\">on the go hand sanitiser<\/a> when this isn\u2019t available. Whether you\u2019re at a bar or restaurant, on <a href=\"https:\/\/meyershop.wpengine.com\/how-to-stay-hygienic-while-on-public-transport\/\">public transport<\/a> or even just at <a href=\"https:\/\/meyershop.wpengine.com\/when-to-use-hand-sanitiser-at-home\/\">home<\/a>, maintaining hand hygiene is more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p>With the right <a href=\"https:\/\/meyershop.wpengine.com\/shop\/\">products<\/a>, we can make sure to stay safe and protected from dangerous germs, bacteria and viruses, giving us peace of mind during a difficult time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cleanliness and hygiene have been THE buzzword of 2020 \u2013 for obvious reasons.
