do waterless hand sanitizers clean hands?

Answer 1

They don't get dirt off your hands, but they kill germs. THey're meant for after washing and when you have no soap or water.

Answer 2

Yes. As a home support worker I carry a small bottle of it with me at all times. It kills 99.9 % of germs and usually contains a moisturizer as well. Too much washing in water will dry your hands and since I constantly need to handle food and/or clients then I use the sanitizers a lot. At home I still use good old soap and water though.

Answer 3

Hand sanitizers are primarily alcohol. Alcohol kills germs so you are basically spreading alcohol on your hands. If you are in a place where you can not wash your hands, sanitizers are great to have.
I have found that if I use it a lot, my hands dry out.

Answer 4

sanitizers kill germs and were meant for after hand washing or if you cannot get to wash your hands immediately. There is no substitute for good hand washing!

Answer 5

yes, most contain alcohol, which is an equivalent of dabbing a wound with a cotton ball of rubbing alchol. Why do you do this? to disinfect and kill the germs.

Answer 6

They don't CLEAN hands, but they kill 99.9% of germs. The dirt is still there. You'll see if you wash your hands after.
