Do You Use Hand Sanitizer's To Wash Your Hands With?
Yes, I never go anywhere without my hand sanitizer
BeyondRoses says:
I take hand sanitizers with me everywhere I go. I try to avoid touching door knobs, and everything that is touched by the public ... not an easy thing to do sometimes. I sure would not touch a shopping cart bar. Our grocer now has sanitizers at the door. Use one to clean shopping cart bar, and one for hands.
No, I'm okay with just soap and water
wordstock says:
I just think the hand sanitizer covers the germs so I head for the sink.
Margaret_Schaut says:
No, its almost all very high priced alcohol. It really dries out the skin for one thing.
Frischy says:
I use regular soap and water, but I wash my hands often. I also carry hand sanitizer in the car. We also use it a lot at school.
tandemonimom says:
I never use hand sanitizer. Far too many nasty chemicals, and the anti-bacterial stuff just kills off weak bacteria and leaves an open field for stronger ones.
Upon-Request says:
Sometimes I will - especially during cold and flu season, but mostly it's good ol' soap and water and a lot of Vitamin D.

- Soap is one of the best things for cleaning away germs, but for shopping carts, door knobs and so forth, some portable cleaning agent is fantastic.

- I am a great believer in hand washing. Also, using Lysol spray seems to help. I worked in a battered women's shelter where the staff was always getting sick from so many kids in and out. We got a new house manager who went around spraying Lysol several times a day, and suddenly staff was a lot healthier and the number of sick days decreased quite signficantly. Clean door knobs, telephones, stair rails...anyplace a lot of people are touching. It makes a difference!

- GROSS on the cell phones! I wonder if smart phones, with their smooth surfaces, resist bacteria more than the ones with buttons and all sorts of grooves for bacteria to hide?
