Questions people ask
Is a hand rub as good as washing with soap and water?
For hands that look clean, an alcohol hand rub kills most germs quickly. When hands are visibly dirty or greasy, or after using the toilet, washing with soap and water is better.
Why does the hand rub make my skin dry?
Alcohol removes natural oils from the skin. Using a moisturising hand cream regularly helps. See a doctor if the skin cracks, bleeds or develops a rash.
How long does chlorhexidine keep working after it dries?
Chlorhexidine sticks to the skin and continues to act against germs for some time after the alcohol has evaporated. Hands can still pick up new germs, so clean them again when needed.
