Step ‘n Wash is the first and only self-retracting step that enables children and people of short stature to safely reach the sink and soap dispensers in public restrooms.

Hand washing is the most effective way to fight off germs and viruses. However, public restroom sinks and soap dispensers are not always accessible to all customers. When these individuals attempt to wash their hands, it can result in poor handwashing and splashed water on the customer, counter and floors. Step ‘n Wash allows children and adults to safely wash their hands.
