Did you spot these cute anti-bacterial foaming hand wash in the market lately? I am so happy to share with you that Japan’s No. 1 Hand Wash* - Kirei Kirei is finally made its debut in Malaysia in April 2021!
Launched in 1997, Kirei Kirei was developed after a series of mass outbreaks of food poisoning in Japan caused by pathogenic E.coli bacteria which became a big social issue in 1996. Beyond developing a product that addresses the spread of bacteria, the brand undertook a social mission to establish a habit of handwashing to protect children from germs. As this habit can only be established with parents’ and teachers’ guidance at homes and schools, and not through strict discipline or force, Kirei Kirei decided to instil fun into handwashing and to get kids to wash their hands voluntarily so as to keep clean at all times!
There are other plus factors for parents to choose Kirei Kirei for the family. They include:
- cost effectiveness – lesser amount of soap is required to achieve effective cleanliness in each wash;
- lesser water consumption -- users need less water to lather and rinse off; and
- no more messy wash as foam sticks to the hands and don’t drip off like liquid hand wash!
Mr. Mabuchi added: “Because of its unique foam format, efficacy and ease of use, Kirei Kirei is not only popular in homes in Japan, but also in schools, offices and restaurants. Kirei Kirei has been the No. 1 Hand Wash in Japan since 2000 for 20 consecutive years!”.
The study of Klang Valley pre-schoolers’ handwashing behaviour also found only half of them use soap and less than half of them rinse their hands thoroughly after using soap.1 To this, Mr. Mabuchi said: “In line with children going back to schools in CMCO and RMCO states in recent months, we are currently speaking to kindergarten and primary school operators to activate fun educational programmes for children to learn the right handwashing method. Our aim is to help them develop voluntary handwashing habits at school, where they are more exposed to germs and virus that spreads through touch”.
“Kirei Kirei had held successful educational programmes in pre and primary schools in Japan and we are confident to duplicate it here to instil fun into handwashing for kids”, he added enthusiastically.
Kirei Kirei is best used with its bottle which comes with a unique pump, specially designed to generate very fine and creamy foam that easily lifts dirt off hands. Mr. Mabuchi reminded consumers who purchase the bottle to reuse it by replenishing with the refill pack. “This simple step not only helps to reduce plastic usage, but also plays a part in creating a cleaner environment” he said.
“Since the launch of Kirei Kirei’s Malaysia social media page, we have been receiving good feedback from current users who have been purchasing the products from neighbouring countries. They are excited that it is finally available in Malaysia now. They also highlighted how Kirei Kirei cleans very effectively and this shows how our loyal users love and are confident about our products,” he added.

I was honoured to be the first few to try out Kirei Kirei anti-bacterial foaming hand wash in Malaysia recently. I am amazed that my 8-year-old daughter, Jia Xuan started to wash her hands voluntarily without any reminder from her. While she loves the very cute bottle and the rich, creamy and fine foam, I am all for the fruity scent and moisturising after-wash feeling. The best part is it protects us from harmful germs!
