Safely and effectively wash their hands


Hand washing is the best way to stop the spread of germs and keep kids healthy. The problem is the sinks in public restrooms are simply too high for young children to reach. The only option for parents is to try and lift up and hold their 30 or 40 pound child against the counter which typically results in poor hand washing, water all over the child’s shirt, water all over the restroom floor and frustration for everyone. Step ‘n Wash is the only safe and cost-effective solution to this problem.
