Hand sanitizer is any product used to clean hands. Water and soap are the best hand sanitizing agents. But as it is difficult for people to carry water and soap wherever they go, and wet hand wash may not be possible all the times. Brands have manufactured and made available bottled hand sanitizers. There are various types of hand sanitizer products. Gel types; spray variants, liquid hand washes etc. are all common hand sanitizer varieties. When used properly, hand sanitizers are proven to be effective anti bacterial agents.
Whenever epidemics breakout, even medical professional suggest the use of a hand sanitizing product several times a day. Many diseases spread through touching. Hands are the parts of the body that are unprotected and prone to touch various surfaces where there can be viruses and bacteria. Getting into the body through hands, these viruses and bacteria cause several types of diseases spread among the society at alarming speeds. H1N1 Flu, Swine Flu etc. are the best examples of widely spread disease. A hand sanitizer can effectively prevent the spread of such diseases. Washing hands with one of the hand sanitizers every time your hands get in contact with surfaces where others also might have touched, will help you to get rid of the disease carrying micro-organisms before they spread the disease into your body.
One has to be very careful to select a hand sanitizer. Just applying any hand sanitizer will not protect your health. Hand sanitizers with the necessary ingredients only kill the germs and keep hands clean. For a hand sanitizer to be anti-bacterial, it should contain at least 63% Ethyl Alcohol. A percent less than 63 will defeat the purpose. Many of the open market hand sanitizers have only 40% of alcohol content which by all means remain useless products. When you buy a hand sanitizer carefully look at the ingredients list and make sure the product contains 63% ethyl alcohol.
Even if you purchased the right hand sanitizer, improper usage will allow germs to remain on your hands. A proper washing procedure is to be followed for better results. Sanitizer is to be applied to the top, bottom, sides, inside fingers and fingertips. Vigorous rubbing is a must to make the sanitizer reach everywhere on the hand. Rub the hands until they become dry. This is the advised procedure that will clean the hands off the germs.
