We easily can see ‘Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel’. I usually carry Bath & BodyWorks lemon Pocket anti-bacterial hand gel. It advertises as it is a powerful germ-killing formula and leaves hands feeling clean and virtually germ-free. However, I am curious about actual effectiveness of this product and possibility that it could replace the soap. Therefore, I searched the internet and found out the website as ‘Hand Sanitizer vs. Soap and Water’. The manufacturers of the products test the products on inanimate surfaces hence they are able to derive the claims of 99.9 percent of bacteria killed. If the products were fully tested on hands, there would no doubt be different results. Since there is inherent complexity in the human hand, testing hands would definitely be more difficult. Using surfaces with controlled variables is an easier way to obtain some type of consistency in the results. But as we are all aware, everyday life is not as consistent. In addition, FDA recommends that hand sanitizers not be used in place of soap and water but only as an adjunct.
