Best Answer

As long as the products contain the right amount of antibacterial and antimicrobial agents, it does not matter how effective it is. How you use a particular product is important. Wipes are useful, when you wiping down a dirty surface. But alcohol hand sanitizer is used when you have touched any dirty and contaminated article or object.
