"Dettol no-touch hand wash system"

moonrakerz

I have seen some pretty pointless products in my time - but this one takes the biscuit - and the cake !

It says "Never touch a germy soap pump again".

OK, but if you DO touch a "germy" soap pump you must be putting soap on your hands, which means that you are about to wash them - yes ?

Still, it's probably very nice soap at £7.99 a pop - but I'll stick to my "germy" one from Lidl at £0.99 !

the other thing I noticed is that presumably you have to use your germy hands to turn the tap on as well, which kind of defeats the purpose!

And wait until Little Johnny knocks it into a sink full of water or into the bath...

I find that I can quite easily use a normal hand wash without putting my hands all over it. If my hands are covered in grease I just push the top of the pump with the heel of my hand. I haven't died of the plague yet.

If humans were really so sensitive to germs we would have all died out by now.

There is a growing body of scientific opinion that this "obsession" with cleanliness is actually making us more vulnerable to "germy" things" !

Dettol are just mimicking the fad for automatic taps and soap dispensers in some swanky establishments and plenty of public bogs.

We all need to eat a peck of dirt before we die.

It is my opinion that the modern obsession with cleanliness is responsible for all the allergies in our young people.

Yes, but Dettol have now bought out an "anti-allergen" surface spray to counteract that. Where will it all end?

A pro-allergen spray and pro-germ soap for when they realise just how much harm their anti-allergen and anti-germ products are doing now.

There will have to be an anti-anti-allergen spray for those that are allergic to anti-allergen sprays ................ then there will need to be ..............................
