    For me, soap is for when my hands are physically dirty, as is something like food, dirt, etc. sanitizer is for when my is not really dirty but definitely has some nasty bacteria on it. Counting dollar bills is an excellent example.

    you actually have a very good point like when I'm at the doctor's office I always see the doctors appliance hand sanitizer BUT still I do see them washing their hands in the sink they do both it's a good way to eliminate some of the stuff and then just rinse your hands down the drain

  • @HeartOfGermany
    @HeartOfGermany Před 5 lety +7

    I have to correct you on that! Soap has a major disadvantage over alcoholic desinfection. Soap, also just water without soap, removes the natural fatty layer on your skin, which realy dries out the skin. This makes it possible for germs to get in. For hygiene desinfection is the ONLY proper way. Alcohol does not dry out skin as much, because as you said, it smears around. For medicinal jobs you need to prefer desinfection over soap. Only wash your hands, if ther is VISIBLE or smellable dirt. And use a cream/lotion afterwards to make the skin fatty again, which acts as a barrier againgst germs.

    Use Bar Soap to do a better Job of Cleaning your hands. Most of us do Not spend enough time washing our hands or even all parts of our hands. 2 to 3 minutes if I remember right and bar soap Usually causes people to wash longer according to studies verses liquid.
    .....Bar soap is also cheaper and will last longer if put back into a dry area to well dry. Used to be able to find soap dish with a strainer built in but unable to so far. Anyone finding one please let me know.

      to your girlfriend is a bad idea. The wording of the sentence implies that the government shouldn't have to tell adults this because adults should know better. Whether you mean it or not the phrase seems to carry the implication your girlfriend is stupid. Don't take this comment personally though, as I don't know the situation and I could be wrong, but think about it.
