If you’ve got kids that constantly have mucky hands (and which kids don’t) and want to encourage them to use soap on their hands when washing then you might want to check out this automatic soap dispenser.

It uses an infra-red sensor to detect when hands are placed underneath and then using it’s “no-drip technology” dispenses the right amount of soap (with an optional chime to indicate when it’s finished). A great gimicky motivator* to get kids to wash their hands more.

* – Also works on adult males
