Deb frequently asked questions

How do Deb hand cleansers, sanitisers, barrier and after‑work creams differ?

Deb hand cleansers are formulated to remove dirt, grease and industrial soils from the skin, while Deb hand sanitisers are designed to kill germs quickly when water isn’t available or extra hygiene is needed. Deb barrier (pre‑work) creams are applied before a shift to help protect hands from irritants and make contaminants easier to wash off, and Deb after‑work creams are rich moisturisers that restore the skin’s natural barrier after frequent washing and glove use. Used together as a complete Deb skin‑care regime, these products help workers keep their hands clean, hygienic and healthy in demanding workplaces.

How do I choose a Deb hand cleaner for heavy soils, oils, inks or food‑handling?

To choose the right Deb hand cleaner, start with the type of soil you need to remove. For workshops handling heavy grease, oils, inks, tar and industrial dirt, pick a Deb heavy‑duty cleaner with built‑in scrubbers and a solvent‑free, skin‑friendly formula that’s designed to cut through ingrained grime without causing irritation. In food‑handling areas, always select Deb hand cleaners that are clearly approved for use around food, ideally fragrance‑free and paired with compatible Deb sanitisers, so you maintain both hygiene and skin health while meeting your site’s food‑safety requirements.

Which Deb products are approved for food‑contact and HACCP‑type programs?

Deb (now part of SC Johnson Professional) offers specific hand‑hygiene products that are HACCP International‑certified as “food‑safe hand hygiene products suitable for use in food‑handling areas,” including the matching dispensers.

What is the proper hand‑washing and sanitising technique with Deb dispensers?

To meet hygiene guidelines with Deb dispensers, staff should follow the standard WHO hand‑hygiene steps. When hands are visibly dirty or after using the toilet, they must wash with Deb soap and water for 40–60 seconds, rubbing all hand surfaces (palms, backs, between fingers, thumbs and fingertips) before rinsing and drying with a single‑use towel. When hands are not visibly soiled, they can use a Deb alcohol hand sanitiser, applying a palmful from the dispenser and rubbing for 20–30 seconds until completely dry. Using Deb soap for full washes and Deb hand rubs between tasks helps sites comply with healthcare and food‑safety hand‑hygiene standards.
