Hand sanitizers
They are a type of disinfectant used to kill germs and bacteria on the hands. They are usually made with an alcohol such as ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and may also contain other ingredients such as aloe vera or vitamin E to help hydrate and protect the skin. Hand sanitizers are available in a variety of forms, including gels, foams, and sprays, and can be used when soap and water are not available.
Effective use of hand sanitizer
Apply a small amount to the palm of one hand and spread over both hands, including fingers, nails and between fingers, until hands are dry. It is important to use enough sanitizer to completely cover your hands and continue to rub your hands together until the sanitizer has completely evaporated.
It is also important to choose a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, as this is the minimum concentration needed to effectively kill germs and bacteria. In addition, it is important to keep hand sanitizer out of the reach of children and avoid ingesting it, as it can be harmful if ingested in large quantities. Finally, hand sanitizer should not be used as a substitute for hand washing with soap and water, which is still the most effective way to remove dirt, grime, and bacteria from hands.
There are a number of disinfectants that can be used on surfaces to kill germs and bacteria.
Alcohol disinfectants
They can be used on surfaces such as worktops, door handles and light switches to kill germs and bacteria.
It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for all disinfectants, including the recommended contact time and any safety precautions that need to be taken. In addition, it is important to use disinfectants in well-ventilated areas and to avoid mixing different types of disinfectants, as this can create harmful fumes. It is also important to use gloves and eye protection when using certain types of disinfectants.
With regular use at home, you will achieve not only a clean household, but also a home free of bacteria and viruses. Hand sanitizers thoroughly clean your skin and rid it of bacteria. Check out our range of disinfectants from Wooden Spoon, Protect, which we have in stock.
