to ask what the point of No Touch Handwash is?

[DaleyBump]

Seriously, what's the point? I just don't understand it at all!

My DP has just come back from visiting his parents who have just got one of these and they all think it's wonderful! You can wash your hands without touching anything apparently.
I looked a bit at his enthusiasm.

me too! What does it matter if you touch it or not if you're going to wash your hands .

Unless you have no touch taps and door handles it's pointless

What's the point?
To make money by marketing something utterly pointless by scaremongering.

[licks floor]

I see no point in them.

Perhaps useful for people who struggle with normally dispensers.

I completely and utterly agree.

SERIOUSLY. What is the fucking point?? You go to the loo and then head to wash your hands. What fucking difference does it fucking well make whether you press the top or not - you're washing your hands imediately after doing that fucking action! So why is it MORE sanitary to not touch anything when you're just going to be washing all of the fucking germs off ANYWAY?!?! Genuinely fucking astounded at the shit people invent!!!

(Sorry... I really hate them. They drive me up the wall.)

To feed fear of GERMS and sell people shit they don't need.

Oooh, I want no-touch bums for my toddlers

It might be a bit easier to miss out the pressing action on the top bit. Also, the top bit can get dirty so it's one less thing to wipe. Not that I'm that bothered and I won't be getting a no touch jobbie.

I like soap best, anyway.

you know what I don't get... you wash your hands after going to the loo... but you have already touched your underwear/done up your trousers/pulled your skirt up or whatever, so have in fact touched your clothes with your dirty hands..!

To be honest, I think maybe automatic doors on public toilets would be a better idea. It just boils my piss when people are all "ooooh, we're so hygienic, NO TOUCH HANDWASH!" you're washing your hands anyway so touching the handwash is irrelevant!

No touch bum

Its for all the folks on the handwashing thread who think fanjo germs are goung to kill us all

Fanjo germs... I'm speechless

if you've been washing a chicken or handling some other meat and don't really like the idea of meaty juices on soap dispenser?

... I'd only have one in the kitchen

Halitosis was invented by listerine

At the time listerine was a floorwash

i regularly get covered in rabbit poo when cleaning them out, so would be useful for me

But....you go to the loo etc,. Turn on the taps with your filthy germy hands, wash your hands with lovely disinfecting hand wash, rinse and then with you lovely clean germ free hands, touch the filthy germ ridden tap to turn them off, rendering your hands filthy and germy!!

Bloody waste of time and money!!

They are great for getting the toddlers to wash their hands after going to the loo. They love using my magic soap.

And when I'm baking / cooking they are hand for that too, stops me getting flour / meat juice all over the soap and I can knock my tap on with my elbow.

But if I hadn't got them free as a product test I wouldn't have bought them.

I have one in the kitchen to prevent cross contamination when working with raw meat. Wouldn't have one anywhere else though.

Does no-one else just use their wrist or arm to press down on liquid soap dispensers when their hands are covered in gunk?

Was sent one as a product test from tesco.
The timing of its arrival was great- dd was at the "no mummy, I do it" stage and it meant she could wash her hands without getting arsey when she couldn't work the pump.

Was good for the independent toddler stage but it is now gathering dust in the bathroom cupboard as the re fills are so bloody expensive!
