What Everyone Should Know About Hand Hygiene Products

How do most infectious diseases spread? According to the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene (IFH), the hands are probably the single most important transmission route for many types of infections as they come into direct contact with known portals of entry for pathogens (mouth, nose, conjunctiva of the eyes). Therefore, practicing proper hand hygiene is the easiest way to help reduce infections.

What is the proper way to practice hand hygiene? Use soap and water, especially when hands are visibly dirty. Wash hands with soap and water for 20 to 30 seconds (hum happy birthday to me twice!) When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, like HandiCleanTM Hand Sanitizer. Apply enough product to thoroughly wet hands, then rub hands together briskly until dry. HandiCleanTM is not intended to replace proper hand washing with soap and water.

How does HandiCleanTM, Hand Sanitizer work? HandiCleanTM, Hand Sanitizer combines 62% - 65% alcohol with a special blend of moisturizers to kill germs on hands and leave them feeling soft and refreshed. The alcohol breaks down the germs' cell walls causing them to die. When applied to hands it evaporates within seconds. According to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) Guidelines for Infection Control Practice, "alcohols applied to the skin are among the safest known antiseptics."

Are they safe for children? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers when soap and water are not available and hands are not visibly dirty. CDC recommends that children in school may use alcohol-based hand rubs as an alternative to hand washing when properly supervised by a responsible adult.
