Hand sanitizers-alcohol content?

Question

What % alcohol should a good hand sanitizer contain in order to be most effective against flu viruses and other germs? Also what do you think is the best brand of effective hand sanitizers and aerosol sprays to do the best job on cold and flu viruses? Thanks. Ron

Answer 1

Brand doesn't matter. Ethanol is ethanol regardless of the label. but check the ACTIVE INGREDIENTS list, and look for at least 62% ethanol (aka ethyl alcohol).
