Everyone has a top three list of things they fear most in life. Mine are food poisoning, shower curtains, and being attacked by an angry mob of chickens outside a KFC. I feel I can control the food poisoning fear by frequent hand washing, especially during meal preparation. I must wash my hands a dozen times for every meal I make. With cereal, it’s only about nine times.
Call me a freak, but get food poisoning a couple times in your life and you’ll be a hand washing convert. I even hate touching the soap dispenser. I always try to find that itty bitty spot on my hand that hasn’t been touched by the food I’m preparing, so I can push down on the dispenser to get my soap fix. That can be a pain and usually ends up with soap missing my hand altogether.
The SimpleHuman Sensor Soap Pump makes hand washing a snap and reduces the chance of cross-contamination by automatically dispensing soap into your hand for touch-free operation. After dispensing the soap, a 20 second timer kicks in so you know how long to wash your hands, ensuring they are bacteria free. Made of polished stainless steel, black plastic, and acrylic.
*With the availability of the SimpleHuman Sensor Soap Pump, I have replaced food poisoning on my fear list with the fear of the planet Venus.
