CDC Advice on Using Hand Sanitizer
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that they recommend: “washing hands with soap and water whenever possible because handwashing reduces the amounts of all types of germs and chemicals on hands.
“But if soap and water are not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. The guidance for effective handwashing and use of hand sanitizer in community settings was developed based on data from a number of studies.”
However, the CDC also says: “Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs.”
The CDC recommends using hand sanitizer with more than 60 percent alcohol, as: “Many studies have found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60–95 percent are more effective at killing germs than those with a lower alcohol concentration or non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
“Hand sanitizers without 60-95 percent alcohol 1) may not work equally well for many types of germs, and 2) merely reduce the growth of germs rather than kill them outright.”
