Why Should You Use Hand Sanitizer? You're well aware of the need of keeping your hands clean. Your hands, as useful as they are, also bring germs into contact with your mouth, eyes, nose, and other bodily parts. We hope you're already washing your hands with soap and warm water several times a day, as this is the best way to keep them clean, but a hand sanitizer is also a viable option. If you haven't already made hand sanitizer a staple on your shopping list, you may want to do so now that you've learned about the benefits. Cleanness This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. One of the most important advantages of hand sanitizer is that it sanitizes. These products were created to kill germs, and they do so effectively. Hand sanitizers, when used correctly, can eradicate 99.9 per cent of germs on your hands. When you're around food (either preparing it or consuming it), animals, rubbish, and other germs, the CDC suggests washing your hands. When you're in these settings, hand sanitizer is an excellent supplement to (or occasional replacement for) soap and water hand washing. Portability There won't always be soap and water accessible when you need to wash your hands. For circumstances where you need to wash your hands but can't find a sink or waiting for one is difficult, keep a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer in your glove box, purse, or even your pocket (think long lines or far away restrooms). It's ideal for when you're at a sporting event and want to get a bite to eat or when you've just left a public location like the grocery store. Lower risk of getting sick It's critical to limit your exposure to other people's viruses, especially during flu season. You can lower your risks of getting sick by sanitizing your hands several times during the day. Even a simple trip to a friend's house or the store might expose you to germs that might cause a cold, the flu, or other illnesses, so it's important to keep your hands as clean as possible.
