The individually trained rubbing technique protects you and other people from infection.
How it works
Step 1
Dosing dye
For the disinfectant to work properly, it must be left to work for at least 30 seconds. To do this, we need a sufficient dosage.
Find your own dosing quantity.
We need different amounts of disinfectant depending on the size of our hands. For average hands, 3 ml is recommended. In everyday life, however, too little is usually used (Ø 1.7 ml).

Step 1
Rub in without gaps
Forget that you are training. Disinfect during your first training session just as you normally would. This is the best way to learn from possible mistakes.
First disinfect the fingertips, nail fold and thumb. This is where the highest germ density is. And don't forget the wrists.
Step 1
Wait for color development
As the liquid dries, your hands will begin to change color. After about a minute, you can assess the disinfection.
Step 2 – Check
Check dosing quantity and wetting
To check the dosing quantity, compare the intensity of the coloring with the color chart. Also check your hands for wetting gaps.
Do you only have a pale coloration despite sufficient dosage? Then check whether you dripped too much when applying.
Step 3
Apply decolorizer
Use about the same amount as you would for coloring. Make sure there's a small amount of it spilling when transferring it to both hands.
Step 3
Rub in without gaps
The dye now decolors immediately. You can see immediately what wetting is achieved by your respective actions.
See how you can adjust your hand movements to really wet your hands completely.
Step 4 – Check
Check sequence and wetting
Check your hands thoroughly for possible paint residue. You will recognize which areas have not been wetted at all or too late and need more attention in the future.
Nail folds and skin furrows, dry skin areas or long fingernails are not only more difficult to disinfect, but also areas with a high germ density.
You solve the problem by wetting critical skin areas right at the beginning.
And then ...
Repetition
Wash your hands after training.
If you have noticed critical errors, you should repeat the training immediately to work out your optimum disinfection technique.
After about a week of practice, you should repeat the training again. This will show you whether you have internalized your optimized technique.
The Robert Koch Institute and we recommend repeating the training every year thereafter.

Simultaneously and together.
We really like using the DesiCoach, especially during internship weeks for nursing students. With the DesiCoach, we can clearly demonstrate the technique of hygienic hand disinfection using color, and the interns actually enjoy practicing it. Unlike with a black light lamp, the interns can practice simultaneously and compare their results. It's also incredibly easy to use.

One hundred percent recommendation!
Using DesiCoach in the recent training sessions was a complete success. In both the first and second rounds (after explaining the correct procedure), I saw very surprised faces at their own results. It was a lot of fun and resulted in genuine, lasting insights… all without any additional technical equipment. Thank you so much! I give it 5 stars and a 1001% recommendation!

Trainees became thoughtful.
The product is easy and safe to use. I was impressed by the learning effect. The trainees approached the training with great motivation, in the firm belief that they would of course be able to carry out the hand disinfection they had learned correctly. This made it all the more surprising to discover that the hand disinfection was only effective for a small proportion of the trainees. The product clearly showed errors in the use of hand disinfection. This made the students think and will hopefully lead to better hand hygiene in the future. I am personally convinced by this product.

Your products are amazing.
I've used them in nursing homes, public health departments, and daycare centers. They've been very well received everywhere – I'm thrilled with them myself. Small, handy, and effective. I'll be training hygiene officers again next year, and I'm sure your product will find its place there as well.

Surprised and delighted.
Our participants are always surprised and enthusiastic about your hand hygiene products. The products were again very well received at our last courses. I think that it also always has to do with people's own attitude or rejection of new things in general. In principle, they are great products and we were able to inspire most of the participants - regardless of which professional group they belong to.

Increases sense and understanding.
The campaign day was successful and a lot of fun for the participants. According to the participants, the presentation greatly increased their understanding and sense of hygiene measures.

The aha effect was huge.
As a lecturer for the MAPs-Marburg Academy, I was able to use a 75-unit package for my courses. And I have to say, it was fantastic. As part of my hygiene training, I conducted several courses, and I'd like to share my experiences with you. So far, we've only used the UV method for training. However, DesiCoach is significantly more visual and informative. Course 1 – Everyday Companion: The participants were initially very skeptical, asking about allergens and whether they could be removed from clothing. It was also initially difficult because not everyone had a mobile phone, or some had one but didn't know how to use it. Therefore, I had to find a way to guide everyone through the process. The result was surprising: Most of them had been working in institutions for years and thought they knew how to disinfect their hands... far from it! The system wonderfully highlighted their shortcomings, and the "aha!" moment was huge. 2nd Course – Gerontopsychiatry Specialists: All seasoned professionals, including two facility managers who run very large institutions and train their staff themselves. One had even personally demonstrated hand disinfection using UV light during her teaching demonstration in the everyday companion course. Skepticism was immense. At first, I thought it wouldn't work well… BUT it did… even better. The participants, who are usually very critical, were able to embrace it, and the feedback was consistently positive. The mobile phone-based instruction worked perfectly there, too. It was fascinating, for example, to see how long artificial nails last. One facility manager wants to try implementing the method in her institution. The feedback was consistently positive regarding the method itself and the "dual" learning experience. Negative criticism (had it not been for this course) was that the costs could be a problem for many facilities. But ultimately, the participants embraced this as a powerful multiplier. 3rd Course – Training on the German Infection Protection Ordinance (PfluV) according to § 45b: The participants were inexperienced and had no instructor – mostly housewives. The training went well under my guidance. At the beginning, we covered similar topics to those covered in the everyday companions course. On top of that, we didn't have Wi-Fi. But the feedback and the "aha!" moment were consistently positive. The management of the Central Hesse Care Advisory Service will likely make this available to their staff. 4th Course – ICW Wound Expert Training, Hygiene: Hand disinfection training isn't usually a popular topic, but with DesiCoach, I managed to get everyone on board. There are also many experienced professionals there. Because of COVID, everyone's a hand disinfection expert... yeah, right... we uncovered significant sources of error, and after 7 days of training, I was able to really engage everyone on the last afternoon and delve deeper into the topic... FANTASTIC... that's what I enjoy doing now; otherwise, the last afternoon is always incredibly tedious. Thank you so much for that...

First skepticism, then conviction!
We participated in the Hand Hygiene Action Day during our hygiene training. We are absolutely convinced by your product. There were no queues, which our employees were very pleased about. They were initially skeptical because of the staining, but with the stain remover, they immediately saw where they still need to improve their hand disinfection. I really liked the training materials you provided, and I was able to inform our employees very effectively. Keep up the good work! I can only recommend your product.

In healthcare facilities, the employer is obliged under the Infection Protection Act (IfSG) to offer all employees practical training in hand disinfection at least once a year.
Since the positive effects of hygiene training are scientifically well-documented, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) recommends that the entire workforce be trained in the correct implementation of hand disinfection at least once a year. As a recommendation of the Category IB regular training is mandatory for all employees in healthcare facilities.

Yes, wetting gaps are easily recognizable on both light and dark skin. However, a sufficient amount of liquid must always be applied to achieve a good contrast.
This can have several causes:
Check whether too much liquid has dripped during application.
Make sure the DesiCoach® dye has been shaken well before use.
Using DesiCoach® directly after applying cream or disinfectant may affect the color. In this case, please wash your hands and start again.
The coloring is delayed so that the users cannot yet see during the rub-in time whether wetting gaps have occurred - just like with a "normal" disinfectant.
Only when the color is removed is every movement immediately visible.
DesiCoach® uses a similar basic formula to most alcohol-based liquid disinfectants. The knowledge gained from the training can therefore be easily transferred.
There are only restrictions if gels or foams are used in everyday life. In this case, training in the individually correct dosage amount is not transferable.
No. Although DesiCoach® is based on the formulation of classic disinfectants, the product is not certified as a disinfectant.
Simply rinse the stain with water and soap if necessary. The dye contains a mineral that can be easily rubbed off when dry. The decolorizer, on the other hand, contains fats that are easier to remove with soap. The stain should be completely gone after one wash in the washing machine at the latest.
IMPORTANT! Use not the decolorizing solution for stain removal.
DesiCoach® can be easily wiped off smooth and sealed surfaces with a damp cloth.
For sensitive surfaces, we recommend laying out newspaper, paper towels, foil or other materials beforehand.
Clear! We offer discounts on larger order quantities and for recurring orders for regular training courses.

Three good reasons for hygiene training
Try it out!
Studies show that without training, even after 30 seconds of rubbing, over 50% of the disinfections have gaps.
The problem: germs remain where no disinfectant is used. In addition, on average only 1.7 ml is used instead of the recommended 3 ml.
Targeted training sessions raise awareness of the problem and bring about behavioral changes that have a positive impact on the quality and regularity of hand disinfection.
Studies show that the frequency of hand disinfection increases significantly in the immediate period after training. This is because the training brings hand hygiene more into our focus and very succinctly emphasizes its great importance for infection protection.
The training courses ensure that we remember the necessary hand hygiene more often and greatly increase our motivation to disinfect our hands regularly.
The positive effects of hygiene training have been scientifically proven. The Robert Koch Institute therefore recommends at least one practical hand disinfection training session per year for the entire workforce.
As a recommendation of category IB, regular training is therefore mandatory for all teams in healthcare facilities.
