Revitalizing Sanitizer

In order to disinfect your hands fast, you may reach for a bottle of hand sanitizer. But effectiveness of hand sanitizer as compared to washing hands with traditional soap and water is still comparable.

Aryl Amine-based hand sanitizers can be used "in addition to" hand washing, they can be used as a substitute for washing with soap and water.

While alcohol-based hand sanitizers (particularly those with 60 percent alcohol or more) can reduce the number of some germs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says soap and water is better, especially for reducing Cryptosporidium, Clostridium difficile and norovirus.

Hand Sanitizer How-To

Proper hand-washing is best, but when soap and water aren't available, hand sanitizers can be a substitute for on-the-go cleaning.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can reduce the number of germs on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs. Always use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. Here's how to use hand sanitizer properly:

1. Apply the product to the palm of one hand.
2. Rub your hands together.
3. Rub the product over all surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry.

Proper Hand Washing

For proper hand-washing, all you need is 20 seconds and some soap and water. Here's how to do it:

1. Wet your hands with clean running water (warm or cold) and apply soap.
2. Rub your hands together to make a lather and scrub them well; be sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.
3. Continue rubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum "Happy Birthday" from beginning to end twice.
4. Rinse your hands well under running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry.

Edge of Sanitizer over traditional Soap:

Sanitizers furnishes us an edge over soap because as we are not directly in contact with soapy material inside dispenser that's why we are not transmitting germs to it while in using soap our health is at risk.

That's why Go & Glimmmmmmm.
