Alcohol Hand Wash

Put simply, hand washing products provide two basic functions – one being to clean the dirt off hands and the second being to remove germs. A typical hand wash uses surfactants to pick up the dirt particles from our hands and, when combined with water, this will wash the dirt particles away. There is also a level of effectiveness in removing germs in this way when combined with the physical process of rubbing your hands together. However, if you want to kill the germs rather than just remove them, an antibacterial agent can be added in order to denature the germs themselves.

Alcohol is an effective antibacterial agent and it also evaporates easily from your hands. Because of this, alcohol is ideally suited to be used in a no-rinse alcohol based hand sanitiser which is solely about killing the germs and not cleaning. In a standard alcohol hand wash, the alcohol will breakdown the foam and the foam helps to carry the dirt particulates away from the hands. The concentration level of alcohol required in an alcohol hand wash for an antibacterial affect (which is approximately 70%) doesn’t leave enough room for the surfactants needed to clean dirty hands properly. Therefore it is preferable, where you can, to use a hand wash with an antibacterial ingredient that works in synergy with the cleaning agents rather than an alcohol hand wash.

There are some alcohol-based hand sanitisers on the market that are pitched as ‘rinse-free hand wash’. The problem with these rinse-free alcohol hand wash products is that when you clean your hands the dirt needs to be dispersed somewhere. If you are not rinsing the alcohol hand wash off with water flowing down a drain, then you need to wipe the dirt on to something such as a cloth, your clothes or the next thing you touch. So when the directions on these rinse-free hand washes say to rub the hand wash or hand sanitiser into your hands and leave it to evaporate, it is not going to clean your hands effectively as unfortunately the dirt doesn’t just miraculously evaporate with the alcohol. So for quickly killing germs on the go, an alcoholic sanitiser is the ideal option. But if you need to clean the dirt off your hands as well, then you should wash them with a surfactant based hand wash. If you use a hand wash with an added antibacterial agent such as OOMPH antibacterial hand wash, this will ensure that not only the dirt will be removed, but it will also kill 99.9% of the germs it come into contact with.
