Why Hand Sanitizer?
There is an increased need for hand sanitizer due to the pandemic, but supplies are limited. As an individual, I have seen price increases for hand sanitizer listings. Consequently, the prices of ingredients to make useful hand sanitizer increased significantly due to a limited supply and a high demand. Bottles are hard to find because of factory closures. There are many big manufacturers who limit their sales to the clinical, government, as well as front-line industries. Hand sanitizers have left the typical family member at a loss.

While hand sanitizers based on alcohol are effective in some situations, they do not eliminate all types of germs.
Why? Certain types of germs, such as Cryptosporidium, norovirus, and Clostridium difficile, can be eliminated more effectively with soap and water than with hand sanitizers. When used correctly, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can effectively inactivate several types of microorganisms. Nevertheless, people may not use a big enough quantity of the sanitizer or may wipe it off before it has dried.
When hands are visibly dirty or oily, hand sanitizers may not be as effective.
Why? Many studies show that hand sanitizers are effective in professional settings like hospitals, where hands are often not heavily soiled or greased. Additionally, some research suggests that hand sanitizers might be effective against specific kinds of germs on little dirtied hands. The hands might become very greasy or stained when people manage food, play sports, work in the garden, go camping, or fish. Hand sanitizers may not function properly if hands are very dirty or greasy. In these situations, soap and water should be used to wash your hands.
Chemicals and heavy metals may not be removed from hands by hand sanitizers.
Why? Although few studies have been conducted, hand sanitizers may not be able to get rid of or suspend many harmful chemicals. People who reported using hand sanitizer to clean their hands had higher levels of chemicals in their bodies, according to one study. Clean hands carefully with soap and water if they have come into contact with hazardous chemicals (or as directed by a toxin control center).
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not readily available
Why? Many researchers have actually found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60% to 95% are more efficient at killing bacteria than those with a reduced alcohol concentration or non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Hand sanitizers without 60% – 95% alcohol:
- It may not work equally well for all types of bacteria; and
- Germs are merely suppressed rather than eradicated altogether.
Hand sanitizer should be applied to one hand (check the tag for the proper amount) and rubbed around until dry.
Why? According to CDC 21, hand sanitizers should be used based on a simplified treatment. Providing detailed instructions for rubbing-in hand sanitizers has been shown to provide similar sanitation performance to advising individuals to cover all surfaces of both hands with hand sanitizer.
Alcohol poisoning can result from swallowing alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Why? The use of ethanol-based hand sanitizers according to instructions is harmless, but swallowing more than a couple of mouthfuls can cause alcohol poisoning.
Between 2011 and 2015, U.S. poison control centers received nearly 85,000 calls regarding direct exposure to hand sanitizers among children. Those hand sanitizers that are perfumed, vibrantly tinted, or exquisitely packaged may be more likely to be consumed by children. It is important to keep hand sanitizers out of reach of children and to use them under adult supervision.
