Hand Sanitizers

Hand sanitizers are alcohol-based products designed to reduce germs on the skin, especially when soap and water are not available. They typically contain at least 60% alcohol, which effectively kills most bacteria and viruses. Hand sanitizers should be applied to dry hands and rubbed together until completely dry for maximum effectiveness. While convenient, they are not a substitute for washing hands with soap and water, especially when hands are visibly dirty or greasy. It's important to choose hand sanitizers that meet health guidelines to ensure proper germ-killing capabilities.
