To prevent the spread through human contact one needs constantly wash their hands with soap. Soap has the capacity to kill the virus and frequent hand wash is one of effective solution to reduce the spread of the virus.
This Touch free hand wash helps people accessing public places to use these hand wash where the user doesn’t come in contact with tap or the soap dispenser yet enable them to use the hand wash with help of mechanical pedal that can be operated via leg press system.
The project also brings awareness about the need for hand wash. Regular hand wash is a basic of hygiene and during these times, it’s a must to keep hands clean, hence the contactless hand wash serves the purpose of hygiene and habit for all.
