How Does Your Hand Sanitiser Work?
/
Post by by Oyku Uzuncarsili
What’s in hand sanitiser?
- Effective hand sanitiser should include an alcohol such as ethanol
- Zidac contains ethanol and a combination of ethanol and 2-phenylphenol in its Hospital Grade version
- Other ingredients such as glycerine and aloe vera act as a moisturiser
How strong should it be?
- To be fully anti-bacterial, sanitiser must contain at least 70% alcohol
- Alcohol breaks down the cell wall of bacteria and envelope of viruses to kill them
- If a sanitiser has gone through proper testing, it will have the message, ‘kills 99.9% of bacteria’ on the label
How does it work?
- Alcohol is necessary for sanitiser to kill germs and protect us from viruses
- Alcohol breaks down the cell wall of bacteria and envelope of viruses to kill them
- Hand sanitiser may be less effective on greasy hands
Hand washing vs. hand sanitiser
- Hand washing is necessary if you need to remove dirt or grease from your hands
- Ensure you wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds to remove germs
- Hand sanitiser is best suited for staying hygienic on the move
When to use hand sanitiser
- Hand sanitiser is best used when you can’t wash your hands
- Take a bottle on the bs or out to bars and restaurants in your bag
- Put a small tube in your children’s pencil case for school
