Have u wondered?
Why would it kill 99.9% germs but ONE little bacteria would still be alive? So they can make this stuff so it would kill ALL but ONE. And who knows HOW MANY bacteria I have on my hands? No one knows, because we all have a different number of germs on our hands so WHO knows HOW MUCH 99.9% really is? 99.9% out of 100? Or 1,000? or 20? So y would u say that it kills 99.9%
Besides that ONE bacteria left could multiply itself into a million more and there we go my hands would be dirty again! If I pay 2.99 for hand sanitizer i expect FULL PROTECTION! I want 100% bacteria to be gone. SO KILL THOSE MOFFOS DANG IT!!!! IF it can kill 1,000 bacteria WHY cant it kill 1,001???? WHy must it leave ONE left? *Sigh*
Wat's wrong with the world today?

Because they can't guarantee that it will kill 100% of germs. Customers will expect to have perfectly clean, germ-free hands. That's impossible. I doubt that they really kill 99.9% of germs anyways. I would say somewhere around 70%

I agree with Kay and Dani
you can't garuntee it's fool proof
you got it all wrong
and who cares!
it cleans
clean hands are clean hands
just a little bactreria won't kill you and they won't multiply if you keep them clean by washing your hands with soap when you need to
when they say 99.9% they mean it's the smallest bit left
don't expect everything to be perfect
the .99% part is a difference and means .1% percent will be left
thats not a lot at all
I can't explain it but it's what Linda said
they can't GARUNTEE it's best at it
what you said was just stupid

95% of the world's health (germ related) would improve drastically if EVERYONE washed their hands after using the bathroom.

If they say it's 100% effective...and something goes wrong...they could be sued, or worse face Judge Judy.
God bless u,

I never thought about that, tho I've been using it for years. How DID they come up with that figure. Maybe someone who knows will A. I'll star your Q.

99.9% out of a potential 1,000,000 bacteria is still 1000 remaining
HOW ARE YOU?

either which way you could be killing 99.9% of the good germs and leaving 0.1% of the bad germs...

actually it will kill 99% of bacteria, but that 1% will become stronger.
