For hospital hand hygiene training in Canada, a Glo Germ kit pairs a UV lamp with gel or oil for hands and powder for surfaces. Kit 1007 suits hand hygiene sessions. The HAZMAT Kit adds Surface Cleaning Detection Gel for cleaning audits and MIST for simulated airborne spread. GermWise ships from Brockville, Ontario to every province, in Canadian dollars, and accepts purchase orders.
What should a hospital hand hygiene training kit include?
A UV lamp is the core of any Glo Germ kit, because the simulated germs glow under long-wave UV light. Gel or oil goes on hands for handwashing checks, and powder goes on surfaces to show how contamination spreads. Hospitals running cleaning audits or airborne spread demonstrations can add Surface Cleaning Detection Gel and MIST. See gel vs powder vs oil and what UV light you need.

How does the Surface Cleaning Detection Gel support cleaning audits?
The Surface Cleaning Detection Gel is designed to test for proper cleaning of non-porous, hard surfaces. Place two to three drops on the surface and lightly spread it with a swab until it is no longer visible. Have housekeeping staff clean as usual, then inspect under UV light to see what was missed. See surface cleaning verification in hospitals for a practical approach.
What is MIST used for?
GloGerm MIST is an aerosol free, easy pump canister for airborne microbe simulation. It is used to show simulated airborne spread under UV light. The MIST Combo Pack includes the canister and an 8 oz refill, and the MIST Refill is sold separately. Read how GloGerm MIST simulates airborne contamination.
