Using Hand Sanitizer Effectively

Recently our son was born and had to spend some time in the NICU. Doctors and nurses in the NICU were continually washing their hands with hand sanitizer. This was at the best women's Hospital on the East Coast. So if they are using hand sanitizer then it must work, right? So, how does this hand sanitizer work? It works by using alcohol to kill all of the germs and bacteria on hands.

Hand sanitizer's kills germs by using ethyl alcohol. However, unless the alcohol content is at least 63%, the sanitizer will not be effective at all. It's hard to believe that any company would be selling sanitizer that was ineffective. However, this happens so you need to read the label and make sure that the alcohol content is at least 63%.

It's important that you wash your hands correctly if you want a hand sanitizer to have the desired effect. First, dispense a liberal amount of the gel in the palm of your hand. It may take a few washings to experiment and find the ideal amount of gel used for your hands. Then, rub your hands together spreading the gel over every area of your hand and the back of your hands. Then, spread your fingers on both hands and interlock them. Then, rub your fingers back and forth rubbing the gel in between your fingers. Then grab on to the thumb with the opposite hand, rubbing up and down to make sure the gel spreads all over. Do the same for each finger on each hand.

Hand sanitizer is very useful when there is no soap and water available. But the fact still remains, using warm soap and water is the most effective way to rid your hands of all germs and bacteria.

In order to limit the spread of colds and flu it's important to wash your hands frequently. The more you can wash your hands the better. More importantly, if you work or spend your day at a school or an office building, wash your hands after every time you touch a door knob. Or, carry around a handkerchief and use it to grasp the doorknobs rather than touching them with your own hands. This can minimize the chance that you will catch the flu as well as minimizing the chance that you will spread it to others.

Make recommendations to management at your school or place of work to install hand sanitizer dispeners in the hallways and each room of the school. The more people that was their hands with greater frequency, the better we can limit the spread of the flu, including the H1N1 strain.
