Hand hygiene only works when people actually wash their hands, and they do that more readily when the product suits the job and the station is in the right place. A food handler needs a perfume-free handwash at line entry, a mechanic needs one that removes grease, and a hotel guest expects a pleasant, fragrant product. Choosing one handwash for every location usually means one of these users is poorly served.
Evochem’s Lush range covers each of these needs with ready-to-use handwash and hand sanitiser, supplied in bulk packs for refilling dispensers. This page explains how to choose and where to place them; surface sanitising is covered separately in our sanitisation guide.
Handwash or hand sanitiser
Handwash with water physically removes dirt, grease and food soil, and is the basic step at every station. Hand sanitiser is waterless and quick-drying, and is used on clean, dry hands where your site procedure calls for an extra step, or where water is not available. It does not replace washing when hands are visibly soiled or greasy.
Lush Care GelGel-Based Hand SanitizerQuick-drying, waterless hand sanitizer designed to rapidly eliminate common pathogens without the need for soap and water. Its unique, moisturizing formulation not only effectively kills germs but also nourishes and protects skin, preventing dryness and irritation often associated with alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Available in gel form.

Perfume-free handwash for food handlers
In food processing, pharmaceutical and food service areas, fragrance can transfer to product, so use a colourless, perfume-free handwash. Lush Care is formulated for frequent washing by plant personnel, and Lush Care Plus is an antibacterial handwash with no added colours or perfumes.

Frequently asked questions
Which handwash is best for food handlers?
A colourless, perfume-free handwash such as Lush Care, or Lush Care Plus where an antibacterial handwash is specified. Both are formulated for frequent use by processing and food service staff.
Can hand sanitiser replace handwashing?
No. Sanitiser is for clean, dry hands. When hands are soiled or greasy, they must be washed with handwash and water first.
Which handwash removes oil and grease?
Lush Power is a heavy-duty handwash for mechanics, maintenance and workshop staff, made to remove stubborn oils and greases while being gentle on skin.
Why should food handlers use a perfume-free handwash?
Fragrance can transfer from hands to food, packaging and ingredients. A colourless, perfume-free handwash avoids this while still removing soil.
Where should handwash stations go in a food plant?
At every entry to production, usually after the changing room and before the hygiene barrier, and in or beside toilets and break areas. Each station needs handwash, running water and a means of drying hands.
Do you supply handwash in bulk for dispensers?
Yes. The Lush products are ready to use and supplied in bulk packs for refilling dispensers, with pan-India delivery.
