Illuminate the weaknesses in your techniques with Glo Germ and protect yourself, your customers, and your bottom line! In this age of concern over infectious diseases, security, and liability, Glo Germ is an effective tool to demonstrate handwashing, surface cleaning, hygiene, and containment techniques.

Not enough can be said about the importance of cleanliness, proper handwashing and infection control. Since 1968, Glo Germ has provided customers with a fun and safe product that casts a revealing glow when exposed to Glo Germ’s U.V. light, turning the invisible into germs you can see! Review: This kit came exactly as described, with the instructions, a 2 oz bottle of Glo Germs, and a mini black light on a Key Chain. The lotion went on easily and wasn't very greasy. The instructions were very clear. I was impressed with how bright the light was, despite other reviews I read. It worked well and wasn't difficult to make out the germs at all. We were doing a unit on germs for school, so before lunchtime, as my oldest (8) was reading to my youngest (3), I told them I had some cool new lotion. I made sure they couldn't read the bottle as I dispensed some to them. They rubbed it in really well, then went back to reading their books. I proceeded to point out some fake mark on my 8 year-old's face, so she went to the bathroom to check it out. The 3 year-old followed along, climbing up on the stool and looking. I told one of them to get the lights while the other brought the book in and closed the door. I turned on the light and explained what I had done. Both kids were shocked at where all the "germs" had transferred - all over the sink, faucet, light switch, wall, doorknob, door frame, their clothes, faces, the soap dispenser, and THE BOOK! I told them if these were real germs, they'd spread in a similar fashion and it's important to thoroughly wash hands. So the first time they washed, they did a poor job, although they thought they did a good job. We checked out their hands and noted that in the process of washing, they had splashed "germs" all over their toothbrush and the wall. When they dried their hands, they had transferred germs to the towel. They also had these "germs" all under their nails. Gross! They rewashed, doing a better job, but then got more "germs" from the towel!! They washed a third time, which was when my three year-old was almost losing her mind at how "gross" this was, and we made sure we washed under the black light so we knew we got them all off, then dried with a fresh towel. They were satisfied. My three year-old started to open the door and I pointed out that she caught more "germs." She insisted on washing again. Overall, this was a really cool experiment and showed how germs spread. It got the point across not only to my 8 year-old, but to my 3 year-old. We made a point to turn on the light and show that you couldn't ordinarily see germs. I also pointed out that these weren't real germs, but simulated how real germs acted. I've noticed that they've been washing better lately, and they had clean hands before eating lunch!! Review: I purchased in the past. The keychain light that comes with the kit was a little on the cheap side but the kit as a whole met my needs and was cheaper then other versions currently available on the market so I was really happy with the product/purchase. My star rating/review reflects the product itself. I lost my first kit and ordered a replacement (this purchase); I was disappointed to find it come without the blacklight/keychain. The packaging was all ripped up and there was a huge hole (where I assume the light probably fell out of). It was difficult to contact seller- had to reach out to desertcart themselves who immediately rectified the problem. Wanted to post a review indicating this because I noticed other reviews saying kit came with missing parts- if you are ordering this to use immediately, be aware there is a chance you’ll be missing something and have to reach out in order to receive it. As usual, great customer service from desertcart. ## Features - The mini kit is a disposable kit designed to teach 30 to 50 people proper handwashing. Great idea for teaching smaller groups or a onetime training. - Sprinkle or wipe some of the power or gel onto your hands, set the scene, and set them loose to hunt "germs." - Shake hands with someone, touch surfaces, you will leave traces where ever you go! See the trail you made by looking at what you touched with a backlight (Ultra-Violet lamp). This shows clearly how germs can spread. - This kit is excellent if you want mobility, since it does not require an electrical outlet. Batteries are included with this light. - Contents include one 2 oz. bottle of gel, the ultra-violet keychain light (or pen light), and the informative Trainers Manual ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001BO6R9W | | ASIN | B001BO6R9W | | Best Sellers Rank | #91,465 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #368 in Hand Sanitizers | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (819) | | Date First Available | 20 March 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | GGMINI | | Item model number | GGMINI | | Manufacturer | Glo Germ | | Manufacturer | Glo Germ | | Product Dimensions | 3.81 x 3.81 x 10.16 cm; 45.36 g | | Product Dimensions | 3.81 x 3.81 x 10.16 cm; 45.36 g | ## Images ![Glo Germ Mini Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71F265DZD6L.jpg) ![Glo Germ Mini Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-vmElkCmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does the kit come with the ultraviolet light pen** A: The version of this that we have comes with the blacklight keychain. They did come with a pen a long time ago. **Q: Would this work to spread on a counter and show surface cleanliness?** A: I guess this might work, depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. The "germs" in the liquid light up under the blue light. This is typically used to teach proper hand washing techniques. If you are looking to provide an example of what a counter "could be like" (with the fake germs), then show what it looks like after cleaning, I guess this would be okay. I would think this would be more useful for showing/checking how more porous surfaces are cleaned. The substance will not show cleanliness, but more of the difference between before and after cleaning of the fake germ substance...not sure if this is very clear, but I hope it helps. **Q: Is the gel clear, or can it be seen without the UV light?** A: You need the UV light to see it. And you need to use a lot of the cream. **Q: Is this a real germ?** A: No, it is simulated. They contains proven safe ingredients formulated to be the same size as bacteria, basically 5 microns in size. When used with the use of an ultra-violet light, it simulates the spread of germs, teaching how quickly and broadly germs can be spread in a short period of time. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***3 on 25 August 2014* This kit came exactly as described, with the instructions, a 2 oz bottle of Glo Germs, and a mini black light on a Key Chain.
