How to get the most from hand sanitizers
Business DevelopmentMay 4, 2020Written by jhon317 views
Hand sanitizers have become increasingly popular this year due to the H1N1 scare. While they are beneficial, unless you use them correctly, they may not provide as much protection as you think. The effectiveness of this product to reduce disease depends on its ingredients and how it is applied. Here are three tips on what hand sanitizers to use and how to use them:
The ethyl alcohol found in hand sanitizers is a proven germ killer, but not just any alcohol gel will do what we need it to do. East Tennessee State University conducted some experiments and determined that a product containing 40 percent alcohol left more than 50 percent of the germs in the hands of the evaluators. To get rid of most germs, they determined that a product with at least 60 percent alcohol was needed, according to the Association of Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology.
If you have rings on your fingers, you should remove them when applying the disinfectant. Rings are the best places to hide germs and infections, so if you remove them before applying the hand sanitizer, you will simply re-deposit germs on your freshly washed hands. Hand sanitizers shouldn't harm precious metals like gold, but if you wear costume jewelry, you should only use soap and water to disinfect your hands.

Hand sanitizers with the right amount of alcohol concentration are very effective, but be sure to cover your entire hand to get all the germs out. Even a small stain is missing behind thousands of germs. Therefore, you should start with a quarter-size drop of disinfectant and apply it to the corners between your fingers, your palms, and the back of your hand, and then finish by making sure to hit all of your finger tips.
