Having no more concerns about [proper hand washing technique](https://www.meritech.com/blog/step-by-step-handwashing-guide) gives both managers and users peace of mind as they enter production zones. ## Unveiling the Science behind CleanTech® EVO Hand Washing With a CleanTech® EVO automated hand wash, the hand washing process is made simple. The reason for its superiority over manual hand washing lies in our patented technology that we’ve perfected over the past 35 years.

These nozzles rotate around the hands 23 times in 12 seconds, pulling harmful pathogens from the hands, each time. ![Hand Washing Technology](https://www.meritech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_How%20to%20Use%20EVO%20GIF%20(2)%20(1).gif?width=1440&height=810&name=_How%20to%20Use%20EVO%20GIF%20(2)%20(1).gif) The [unique hygiene solution](https://www.meritech.com/products/hygiene-solutions/) used in our CleanTech® EVO stations is formulated to protect the integrity of the CleanTech® system and remove more 99.9% of pathogens from hands.
