We Touch Our Face Far More Than We Realise

Most people touch their face 200–400 times per day —
often without even noticing.

🤔 Why This Matters

Your hands regularly come into contact with:

• Mobile phones

• Door handles

• Benches and surfaces

• Shopping trolleys

• Bathroom fixtures

When you touch your face — especially your eyes, nose, or mouth — anything on your hands can be transferred directly into your body.

🦠 A Surprising Fact

It can take up to 19 hand-to-surface touches to significantly reduce contamination without washing your hands.

This means germs can continue to spread from:

• Hands

• To face

• To surfaces

• Back to hands

🧼 Simple Ways to Reduce Risk

• Wash hands regularly with soap and water sing the Happy Birthday song twice 

• Avoid touching your face when possible

• Clean frequently touched items (phones, remotes, door handles)

• Use hand sanitiser when handwashing isn’t available

💡 Good Hygiene Is About Awareness

You don’t need to be perfect —
just more mindful of everyday habits.

👉 Wet hands can transfer germs more easily than dry hands, which is why thorough drying is just as important as washing.

​

​

🧴 Wash. Dry. Moisturise.

Frequent handwashing is essential for good hygiene, but it can dry out your skin.

Using a good moisturiser after washing your hands helps:

• Protect the skin barrier

• Prevent dryness and cracking

• Reduce irritation from frequent washing

• Keep hands healthy and comfortable

Healthy skin acts as a natural protective barrier.

🧠 Did You Know?

Dry, cracked skin can feel uncomfortable and become more prone to irritation.
Applying moisturiser after handwashing helps keep skin strong, hydrated, and protected.

Simple habit:
👉 Wash hands → dry thoroughly → apply moisturiser

🤲 Everyday Hygiene, Done Right

Good hygiene isn’t just about cleaning —
it’s also about caring for your skin, especially when hands are washed frequently throughout the day.

📱 When Was the Last Time You Cleaned Your Mobile Phone?

You touch your phone hundreds of times every day,
but most phones are rarely cleaned properly.

🤔 Why This Matters

Your mobile phone regularly comes into contact with:

• Hands

• Faces

• Bathrooms

• Kitchen benches

• Work surfaces

Throughout the day, oils, sweat, food residue, and environmental contaminants build up on your phone’s surface. These can then be transferred back to your hands, face, and other surfaces in your home.

🦠 What Many People Don’t Realise

Research has shown that mobile phones can carry high levels of contamination, often more than common household touchpoints such as:

• Door handles

• Light switches

• Toilet flush buttons

Even if your phone looks clean, contamination is often invisible.

🧼 Simple Phone Hygiene Tips

• Clean your phone daily

• Use a phone-safe disinfectant wipe or spray

• Avoid harsh chemicals and excess moisture

• Wash or sanitise hands before and after cleaning

✅ Good Hygiene Starts With Everyday Habits

Your phone should be cleaned as often as your hands, especially after:

• Bathroom use

• Eating

• Cleaning tasks

• Public outings

Clean hands. Fewer touches. Better hygiene.

Professional cleaning supports healthier environments — but daily habits matter too.
