With the ongoing spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), maintaining good hygiene has never been more critical. Proper handwashing is now a focal point, but for it to be effective, you need the right tools. Enter IMC's hands-free hand sinks—they’re designed to make handwashing easier and safer.
In this piece, we’ll explore what makes these sinks truly "hands-free" and highlight their top five benefits. Let’s dive in.
### What Makes a Hand Sink "Hands-Free"?
At first glance, the term "hands-free" might seem paradoxical when paired with "hand sink," but creating a touchless experience is simpler than you’d think. There are two primary ways to convert an IMC hand sink into a completely touchless fixture:
#### A. Foot Pedal Valves
These valves operate solely with your feet. Typically, they have two pedals—one for hot water and one for cold. Foot pedal valves are usually positioned flat on the floor, ensuring your hands remain far from the sink. Check out examples of foot pedal valves below.

#### B. Knee Pedal Valves
Similar to foot pedals, knee pedal valves rely on your knees for operation. They also include separate pedals for hot and cold water, but they’re mounted slightly higher for comfort. You can see knee pedal valves in action here.

Now, let’s discuss why these hands-free sinks are worth considering.
### Advantages of Hands-Free Sinks
1. **Enhanced Hygiene**
Think about it—faucets are among the dirtiest surfaces in any restroom or workspace. It’s common for users to touch them before washing their hands. With IMC’s hands-free sinks, touching the sink becomes unnecessary. Since there’s no contact with the faucet, the spread of germs and bacteria is significantly reduced. This leads to fewer bacteria buildups and lower risks of illness. Problem solved!
2. **Faster Operation**
Operating an IMC hands-free sink is quicker and more efficient than using traditional faucets. Employees can complete their handwashing tasks faster, which boosts productivity. Customers will also appreciate the convenience of not wasting time waiting for the faucet to turn on or off.
3. **Ease of Use**
One of our goals is to make life simpler and more comfortable for everyone. For older individuals or those with mobility issues, hands-free sinks are a godsend. There’s no need to strain yourself to activate the faucet—all it takes is a gentle press of a pedal.
4. **Water Conservation**
In today’s world, sustainability and water conservation are major concerns. IMC hands-free sinks contribute to both by reducing water waste. Since the water stops flowing as soon as you release the pedal, businesses save both water and money. It’s a win-win!
5. **Avoid Scalding**
None of us enjoy getting burned by hot water. Hands-free sinks minimize this risk because they often come with preset temperature controls, ensuring the water is never too hot. This means healthier hands and fewer accidents.
At IMC/Teddy, all our hand sinks can be fitted with foot or knee valves to create a fully hands-free setup. We understand the importance of preventing cross-contamination, especially in light of the current pandemic. Additionally, electronic faucets with motion sensors are available for hands-free use.
