It's got to work, you can smell the alcohol in it.

I have started using it with my children over the last year and they have been getting sick less often. I don't know if the stuff works or this is just s coincidence. THe year before last they were sick for three months straight no matter how much I cleaned sheets, clothes, etc...The just passed it back and for. We caught the same thing his year but it was gone in a week...I am thinking it helps make a difference especially if your kids are in places where germs are spread easily.

it most definitely works. The only thing, is that they say germs are becoming resistant to the anti bacteria fighting medicine. And the more it is used the more resistant the germs are becoming

It does work to some extent. Although it's impossible to kill every single germ, which is why I think manufacturer claims the effectiveness of 99.9%. The question is what happens to those dead germs on your hand once you've killed them?

It does. We're creating super germs with our antibacterial fanaticism. "Kills 99.9% of bacteria" Well, wait until the 0.1% start multiplying. Look out! Just use soap and water.

yes it does work, but don't use it all the time because it ends up killing the good germs as well and you will become more prone to catching infections.

The idea behind this is the alcohol kills bacteria on contact, however, you will also need to wash your hands intermittently in order to maintain its effectiveness. Having attended infection control these are the recommendations

I'm not much of a germ freak, so I don't know. You might want to research it because you never know it might not work, it might be poisonous, you never know...

depends on what you mean by work:
it kills the germs on your (lightly soiled) hands, all of them good & bad
it does not clean your hands
so you have dead germs on your hands
