Glo Germ was invented in 1968 and has since been a staple for infection control programs all over the world. Glo Germ products come in powder and gel form. The fluorescent particles are great way to teach a variety of infection control lessons. 

For hospitals, the best use of Glo Germ is for hand hygiene trainings, environmental cleaning, cleaning audits, proper glove removal lessons, apron removal lessons, blood simulations, general germ lessons, product testing, process reviews and other infection control lessons. Infection Preventionists can use the Glo Germ tool to keep compliance numbers up and inspectors happy. 

For schools, Glo Germ is effective for hand washing trainings, lessons about germs, coughing examples, cold and flu season reminders, cleaning verification, school assemblies, science projects, science fairs, biology, microbiology and other educational lessons. Teach kids the importance of hand washing early on and they will create great hygiene habits.

For restaurants and food services, it is crucial to use Glo Germ to teach proper hand washing, food safety, meat handling, glove removal, foodborne illness lessons and other infection control procedures. You can also verify the cleaning of dishes, counters, hand washing stations, equipment, restrooms, serving areas and other items that need high hygiene standards. Keep the health inspectors away by keeping your establishment clean and your employees properly trained.
