The most effective product for hand hygiene is soap and water.
Washing your hands with soap and water is the best way to remove germs and prevent the spread of infections. Soap helps break down the outer layer of germs, making them easier to wash away.
However, if soap and water are not available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Hand sanitizers work by killing germs on your hands.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Always wash your hands with soap and water if they are visibly dirty or greasy.
- Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
- Make sure to rub the sanitizer all over your hands until they are dry.
- Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds.
- Dry your hands completely after washing or sanitizing them.
