Our Why

 

 

Physical contact is an essential part of the human experience. From a warm handshake or sympathetic hug to handling our food and medicine, we interact most directly with our world and each other through touch. At Meritech, we help others achieve effective hygiene by helping them create a culture designed to improve hygiene behaviors at every level and by delivering our innovative fully automated hygiene technology.

95% of people wash their hands incorrectly

Microscopic pathogens, germs, and viruses are most commonly spread by human hands, and handwashing is the best defense against the spread of disease. But, what most of us do not realize is that we are often washing our hands incorrectly. In fact, American consumers did not wash their hands correctly 95% of the time. These misperceptions can lead many to believe they are clean and safe when they may actually be increasing the risk of infection spread. The variable nature of manual handwashing behaviors makes CleanTech® automated handwashing station the ideal choice in proper hygiene.
