Hand sanitisers provide a convenient and effective way to clean your hands if soap and water aren’t available.
It does not work if your hands are covered in visible dirt or grease. Most hand sanitiser contains ethyl alcohol (also called ethanol), isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) or benzalkonium chloride as their active ingredients.
Hand soap and hand sanitizer
Hand soap and hand sanitizer might seem interchangeable, but they are meant for different circumstances.
While sanitizer is smart to have on hand for when you are on the go, healthcare professionals agree that nothing beats a thorough hand wash with regular soap and water.
Often used on the go, hand sanitisers contain ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, or both to kill germs on your hands.
Alcohols Kills Viruses
Alcohols have long been known to kill germs by denaturing the protective outer proteins of microbes and dissolving their membranes.
It is recommended using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, as sanitisers with lower concentrations of alcohol aren’t effective at killing germs.
Even up to 90%, alcohol is preferable to ensure that hand sanitizer completely kills germs rather than just reducing their growth on your hands.
