Glo Germ Powder is an effective tool for demonstrating the spread of germs and the importance of proper surface cleaning, particularly in preventing cross-contamination. When applied to surfaces, it simulates the presence of germs, which become visible under UV light, highlighting areas that may be overlooked during cleaning.

Key Features:

  • Realistic Simulation: Contains particles that mimic the size of bacteria (approximately 5 microns), providing a realistic demonstration of germ transmission.

  • Versatile Application: Can be sprinkled on various surfaces to show how germs transfer through touch, making it ideal for cross-contamination demonstrations.

  • High Visibility: Glows brilliantly under UV light, offering a clear visual representation of contamination.

Applications:

  • Surface Cleaning Training: Demonstrates the effectiveness of cleaning protocols by revealing areas missed during routine cleaning.

  • Cross-Contamination Demonstrations: Shows how easily germs can spread from one surface to another, emphasizing the need for proper hygiene practices.

  • PPE Training: Used in training for personal protective equipment to illustrate contamination and proper doffing techniques.

How to Use:

  1. Apply: Sprinkle a small amount of Glo Germ Powder onto a non-porous surface (e.g., door handle, countertop). Use Glo Germ Brush

  2. Demonstrate: Allow individuals to touch the surface, facilitating the transfer of the simulated germs.

  3. Inspect: Use a UV light to observe the spread of the powder, which will glow under the light, indicating areas of contamination.

  4. Clean: Perform standard cleaning procedures to remove the powder.

  5. Re-Inspect: Use the UV light again to identify any areas that were missed during cleaning.

Product Specifications:

  • Size: Available in a 4-ounce bottle (1.9 ounces by weight), sufficient for many demonstrations, as only a small amount is needed per use. 

  • Fluorescence: Glows bright white under UV light, providing a stark contrast for easy detection.

  • Safety: Non-toxic and safe for external use; however, it may stain certain fabrics, so caution is advised during application.

Additional Resources:

  • Training Manual: For detailed instructions and training procedures, refer to the 

  • Safety Data Sheet: For safety information, consult the Glo Germ Powder Safety Data Sheet.

Incorporating Glo Germ Powder into your training programs can significantly enhance the understanding of germ transmission and the importance of thorough cleaning practices, leading to improved hygiene standards.
