When you wash your hands do all the germs come off?

No, not all the germs come off because there are billions and billions and even trillions of types of germs that can exist on a single doorknob, and if soap is applied, about only 99% of the germs go away because soap is not a killer of all the trillions of germs there are. There are some that are not affected by soap, and if soap is used to often, the germs get used to the soap and build up an immunity to it, therefore when you use soap to often, soap will eventually not affect the germs at all.


Why does foamy soap kill the most germs?

There is no proof that a particular kind of soap kills the most germs. According to a Science Daily report (refer to the link, below), washing one's hands using ordinary bar soap and plain water for 10 seconds was more than adequate to kill germs.Foamy soap is in essence the same as liquid soap, lye (NaOH) and fatty acids. The foaminess just increases the available surface area that this compound can interact with other surfaces, like your hand. This increases the efficiency of soap quantity used as well as the efficiency of micelles produced, AKA the amount of grime cleaned up.

If no dispenser is used it can range from 1 on up depending on the amount of soap used for each hand wash.


Why do you say that soup gets wasted if hard water is used for cleansing purpose?

Hard water contains the salts of calcium and magnesium, which neutralize the soap. So that more or less amount of soap is precipitated before you get the effect of soap on the water. Only after you have wasted the certain amount of soap, you get the foam in the water. The ability of soap to clean the clothes comes only after foam formation.
