Keep squeaky clean
Most home cooks know about the dangers of cross-contamination and the importance of frequent hand-washing while preparing food.
But consider this: How do you know your trusty sink-side soap dispenser isn’t, itself, harboring nasty microbes?
We don’t mean to sound like a TV newscast during sweeps month (“How your soap dispenser may be killing you and everyone you love!”). But the Sensor Soap and Lotion Dispenser may be an easy way to encourage frequent hand-washing with a minimum of fuss.
It’s basically a home version of those automated dispensers you’ve seen in commercial restrooms. Just hold your hands underneath the spout and the motion-activated dispenser offers a customized dollop of soap or — if you plan to use it differently — lotion.
The cordless dispenser runs on two AA batteries, and its brushed-stainless steel finish fits in with just about any decor.
The Sensor Soap and Lotion Dispenser retails for $45 at Williams-Sonoma, which has stores at 1001 S. Rampart Blvd. in Las Vegas and 2255 Village Walk Drive in Henderson, as well as an outlet store at 32100 Las Vegas Blvd. South in Primm.
