does not remove dirts. Sanitizers are especially useful in cases where there is
no water or soap. In soap and sanitizer, it is best to wash hands with soap.

I say again that sanitizer is not an option for washing
hands with soap. It can only be used for special needs otherwise it is better
to wash your hands with soap. It will become harmful if its ingredients are low
or high while making it. says Fichtenbaum, if appropriate content of isopropyl
alcohol or ethanol If you mix 60 percent or more it is likely to work well. Sanitizer
is poisonous to eat. So make sure it doesn't go into the hands of any kids. It
should be clearly written on the bottle that it is for hand washing only.
