In new studdies it has been found that hand sanitizer is better than handwashing. Not just any hand sanitizer though. It was said that the sanitizers with ethanol is more effective than washing hands with soap and water. Hand Sanitizers with both ethanol and organic acids reduced recovery of the rhinovirus infection up to four hours. The rhinovirus is the common cause in adults colds.

"Sanitizer better than handwashing?" I never knew that was possible. But as you think about it, its a logical process. hand sanitizer has more chemicals than soap. So the hand sanitizer should be "healthier" or better to decrease infections. This makes me want to find the kind of sanitidzer with the ethanol in it.
