Dirty hands spread disease. Yet, a USDA study found that 97% of the time restaurant workers don't meet CDC handwashing standards. Proper handwashing begins with warm water -- the FDA and ServSafe recommend washing hands with 100°F warm water at hand sinks. Warm water boosts the hydrophobic effect of soap molecules1, helping to remove harmful bacteria and viruses that are encased in a fatty acid membrane. The InSinkErator Instant Warm Handwash System provides commercial kitchens with a sanitary, touchless handwashing solution that dispenses at least 40 twenty-second, instantly warm handwashes at 100°F per hour.2
