Do you have hand sanitizer available in your home? With the buying craze that is going on right now, it is hard to get a hold of this among many other products, but if you have some available, how effective is it? As with everything else, the efficiency depends greatly on how you use the product. You need to rub your hands thoroughly with hand sanitizer, making sure that you don’t miss any spots, and you need to keep going until your hands are dry.
So how does using hand sanitizer compare with using hot water and soap? Hand washing will always be more efficient. Soap will not only kill viruses and bacteria, but it will also prevent them from attaching to your hands and staying on the surface. This double attack is much more efficient than hand sanitizer, but of course, if you are in a pinch, hand sanitizer is a good alternative.
