Hygiene comes first...
What prompted Mansha to set up its India operations?
Mansha is a socio-entrepreneurial company that is dedicated to improving the hygiene and health standards of our society. As you might be aware, India has a huge issue in personal hygiene and sanitation. According to UNICEF, more than 1,000 children die of diarrhea in India every day. The primary cause of this is the practice of using hands to clean after toilet. We don't realise that the very act of touching excreta exposes us to some of the most dreaded diseases on earth including jaundice, typhoid, cholera, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, etc. |

| Medical research proves our hands are the prime carriers of dreaded diseases. And washing hands with soap after toilet is not sufficient since soap at best cleans only 45% germs. The rest of the germs stay under our nails and inside our skin pores and find their way into food when we eat, cook (eg. make atta) or feed children. That's why all leading hospitals today use alcohol scrubs instead of soap. |

Dangers of using your hands after toilet. Is it safe to just use soap?
Surprisingly No.
If you see various medical researches done on the efficacy of normal soap, it at best cleans your hands of 50% of the germs. The rest of the 50% stay in the pores of the skin of your hands or under your nails( ref. Hospis Epidemiology Infection Control 2nd. Edition 1999). |

Gastrointestinal Diseases In India. An eye Opener
Are our Own hands the biggest culprits
5000 years ago, ancient civilizations line Mohenjodaro & Harappa had developed elaborate sanitation systems and codes of hygiene since they were aware of the dangers of contact with faecal & waste matter. Today, in India, we might boast of huge leaps in technology & science, but the fact remains that we are still ignorant or rather indifferent towards our basic sanitary hygiene. One of the most dispensable habits still prevalent in India is that of using our hands to clean after our daily bowel movement. The very act of touching the excreta/faecal matter exposes us to some of the most deadly diseases - Hepatitis, Typhoid, Cholera, Diarrhea, Gastroenteritis etc. |

For generations, we in India have been using our hands to clean after toilet and it is only now that we are realising that this has been a mojor case for the spread of dangerous diseases like Hepatitis, Typhoid, Cholera, Gastroenteritis, Diarrhea etc. |

Re look in personal hygiene
The term “hygiene” is derived from Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness and sanitation. Elaborate codes of hygiene can be found in several Hindu texts such as Manusmriti and Vishnu Purana. The Indus Valley Civilization with its hallmark civilizations like Mohenjodaro and Harappa had elaborate sanitation systems and codes of hygiene.
Today, after 5000 years, we are still ignorant or rather indifferent to improving our sanitary hygiene factors. |

Our toilet habits - Urgent call to change for better Hygiene & Health
5000 years ago, Indian ancient civilisations like Mohenjodaro & Harappa had developed elaborate sanitation systems and codes of hygiene since they were aware and conscious of the dangers of contact with faecal & waste matter. Today, in India, we might boast of huge leaps in technology, science and business, but the fact remains that we are still pre-historic and ignorant or rather indifferent towards improving our basic sanitary hygiene factors. One of the most dispensable habits still prevalent in India is that of using our hands to clean after our daily bowel movement. The very act of touching the excreta/faecal matter with our hands is the most dangerous practice and immediately exposes us to the spread of some of the most dreaded diseases on earth – Hepatitis, Typhoid, Cholera, Diarrhea, Gastroenteritis etc.

Toilet Paper - An Ecological disaster. Isn’t there a better option for Hotel Toilets?
Of late there is a growing trend amongst Premium Hotels in India to opt for only Toilet paper (TP) as the medium for personal hygiene in toilets. Earlier, a combination of TP and water faucets (also known as health/hygiene faucets) were used basically to cater to the requirements of foreigners (TP) and Indians (hygiene faucets). Hygiene faucets were anything but “hygienic” since they invariably contaminated the toilets with their sprays falling outside the WC, had leakage issues and left the toilets wet and messy - a nightmare for the Housekeeping staff. |
