Experts agree that play is an essential part of children’s development, but with every hop, swing and monkey bar, children’s hands can pick up an array of dirt, germs and bacteria. A recent survey* by antibacterial hand hygiene brand Cuticura reveals that half of parents are not aware of the types of germs their children could pick up in the playground. With the possibility of bacteria from bird and dog faeces, rat urine and even E. coli being found in the playground, maintaining good hand hygiene is more important than ever.
