These days, It’s no exaggeration to say that washing your hands can save lives, and the hands-free fittings from innovative bathroom manufacturer GROHE are the perfect hygienic solution.
Washing hands several times a day is now routine in most households. So it's a good thing that GROHE products not only fit perfectly, but also undergo regular testing under extreme conditions for quality and durability

×A significant number of terms have surfaced in our everyday language of late. Top of the list, of course, are coronavirus and Covid-19, but not far behind, other terms like social distancing, sneeze etiquette, elbow and foot bumping. Welcome to our new reality. What you may also find surprising is that for many people, regular hand-washing is also uncharted territory.
Every day, our hands touch countless things that we have to share with others: door handles, bell buttons, vending machines, railings and, of course, chairs and tables in cafés and restaurants. Diseases have always been passed on in this way, but it was the coronavirus that really brought this transmission type into the public consciousness.
The Federal Centre for Health Education recommends washing your hands when you come home, when you have blown your nose, coughed or sneezed, when you have been to the toilet, when you have had contact with sick people or animals, when you have taken out the rubbish and, of course, before cooking or eating.
Only contactless fittings make the cleaning of hands completely hygienic. To make this possible everywhere, GROHE offers various designs for kitchen and bathroom using reliable infrared technology

×So far, so good. But what about the fittings we use before and after washing our hands? When we open the tap, we deposit germs, bacteria and viruses on it, only to pick them up again when we close the tap. The most hygienic solution is touchless taps that are controlled by a sensor – such as GROHE's infrared wash basin taps.
The contactless control system that GROHE has been successfully using for 40 years is modern in every respect, as it not only safely prevents the transmission of diseases, but also saves water and energy and is offered in a wide range of stylish designs. Call it the hand washing equivalent of social distancing.
