The exterior surface having a front face and first and second side faces located on opposites sides of the front face. The enclosure includes a first opening in the first side face of the exterior surface for receiving a left hand for insertion into the interior space and a second opening in the second side face of the exterior surface for receiving a right hand for insertion into the interior space. There is a first digit support member located within the interior space having a surface for receiving and orienting a first subset of digits of the first and second hands in a predetermined position within the interior space and a second digit support member located within the interior space having a surface for receiving and orienting a second subset of digits of the first and second hands in a predetermined position within the interior space. There is a first spray nozzle, positioned in the interior space and directed toward the first digit support member at a first predetermined orientation, configured to spray a liquid toward the first subset of digits of the first and second hands when the hands are inserted into the interior space. There is a second spray nozzle, positioned in the interior space and directed toward the second digit support member at a second predetermined orientation, configured to spray a liquid toward the second subset of digits of the first and second hands when the hands are inserted into the interior space.
