STAR - FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 2007 - Page 13
It’s a wash - more businesses offer sanitizers
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Whenever
Joan Aycock brings her children to a fast-food
restaurant, she lets them spend time in the
play area. And when they come out, so does
the hand sanitizer.
“We have skin issues, things we are sensitive
to — dirt and germs. We want to get them
off as soon as possible,” the Fayetteville mother
said while helping her sons Wesley, 7, and
Andrew, 9, with hand sanitizer packets offered
at a Chick-fil-A restaurant.
More U.S. businesses are helping customers
clean up. No longer the province of hospitals
and health clinics, hand sanitizers are being
offered from health clubs and schools to
restaurants and groceries.
“It’s being used in every market that we
serve,” said Joe Drenik, spokesman for Akron,
Ohio-based GOJO Industries, Inc., which
makes Purell hand sanitizer. “This is a way to
kill germs on the go — there’s an increased
awareness of germs and the implications of
germs and getting sick.”
Although disease threats such as bird flu or
pandemic flu have made headlines in recent
years, Drenik said the popularity of hand sanitizers
has come mainly from the public’s better
awareness of germs and how they are
transmitted.
“All of these things kind of work together
to create this snowball effect with potential
pandemics being one of many factors,” he
said. “People are more apt to take steps to protect
themselves.”
Although Drenik declined to release
Purell’s sales figures, hand sanitizer sales in
the United States have enjoyed double-digit

growth since 2003, according to marketing information
company Information Resources,
Inc. This year through December, more than
$70 million in all brands of hand sanitizers
(Purell is the market leader, enjoying more
than $36.6 million of the sales) have been sold
in U.S. supermarkets and drugstores, up 14.4
percent from the year before.
The largest sales growth in recent years
came in 2005, when more than $67.3 million in
sanitizers were sold, a whopping 53.5 percent
increase from 2004, according to ACNielsen
figures.
Drenik said the increasing availability of
hand sanitizers at businesses shows how public
perception has changed about germs in the
last few decades. Yet most restaurants still are
slow to offer hand sanitizers to customers, although
some chains are considering it, Drenik
said.
“When Purell came out in the 1980s, it was
used behind the scenes. If a business then provided
hand sanitizer, it would raise questions
about cleanliness,” he said. “Today it’s just the
opposite — the perception is the facility pays
attention to the details.”
Perception of cleanliness also is a big factor
in bringing customers to health clubs, said
Skip Lennon, owner of 13 Gold’s Gym franchises
in North Carolina and South Carolina
where wipes are offered to members to clean
off equipment.
“Everybody’s germophobic. There are people
out there sweating” as they work out, said
Lennon, who is based in Wilmington, N.C.
“After they grab the cardio equipment and
free weights, they can wash their hands as
well.”
Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A started offering
hand sanitizer packets this past fall at playgrounds
at its restaurants and also at some
drive-thru windows.
“We provide the playground area for kids
to come and play and we do sanitize those
surfaces. But because of the traffic, kids can
come in ... and as soon as they come in, it’s
dirty again,” said Hal King, food safety manager
for Chick-fil-A. “When you come up to
the drive-thru window, you can’t wash your
hands before you eat.”
Contact with other people and environmental
surfaces — such as a table, a door or a
playground slide — plays a role in whether
people become infected with a cold or the flu,
said Dr. Edward Chapnick, director of infectious
disease at Maimonides Medical Center
in New York.
Just trying to treat those surfaces “is clearly
not the way to go — cleaning has limited effectiveness
because if you clean it, the next
time someone touches it who has a cold, the
germs are there again,” Chapnick said. “Much
more effective than treating surfaces is frequent
use of hand disinfectant, especially in
areas in which there are a lot of people and areas
where people eat.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket chain
Kroger Co. has been offering hand-sanitizing
wipes near its shopping carts.
“It’s very popular with many customers,”
said spokeswoman Meghan Glynn. “You grab
it, you wipe down the cart and you dispose of
it. Customers tell us they appreciate it’s there.
It doesn’t require a lot of effort.”
The hand wipes also are popular at smaller
stores — New York grocery store Really Cool
Foods has incurred the extra cost of offering
them, about $75 for a case of 4,000 wipes, since
May.
“We’re not really concerned. If our customers
feel they need them, then we’re OK
with it,” said spokesman Hans Dempsey. “It’s
a small price to pay for saving the world from
the flu.”
