The Work Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend washing hands for 20 seconds to eliminate bacteria germs, so the 'Lumo' soap dispenser has been created with this in mind. The bathroom accessory works by being placed next to a sink and used to dispense soap when washing hands. A built-in light will be activated upon use to illuminate for 20 seconds as a visual cue for people to follow and ensure that they follow the guidelines appropriately.
The 'Lumo' soap dispenser is the design work of Brandon Bourn, Brian Bourn and Melanie Grubb, and is a great solution for private homes or offices to help users prevent the spread of germs by practicing optimal hygiene.
