Abstract: An electrostatic hand cleansing apparatus is disclosed. The electrostatic hand cleansing apparatus may be configured to expose a hand to cleansing substances, remove at least one contaminant therefrom, ameliorate the presence of at least one undesirable agent thereon, or combinations thereof. The electrostatic hand cleansing apparatus may include at least one electrostatic spray nozzle having an emission tip configured to emit an atomized, electrically charged substance. Further, a collection structure may be configured with a recess to collect a substance emitted from the at least one electrostatic spray nozzle. The collection structure may include an aperture formed therein for removing gas therethrough from the recess thereof. A sensor configured to indicate the presence of at least one hand proximate the at least one electrostatic spray nozzle is disclosed. The sensor may be configured to measure a contamination characteristic of a hand proximate thereto. A method of use is also disclosed.
