How many germs do alcohol free hand sanitizers kill?

99.9% & common germs


Most hand sanitizers kill 99.99 percent of germs. What germs are in the .01 percent that hand sanitizers won't kill?

It's the same germs but some survive because of 2 reasons: One, your hand is very good at retaining the bacteria that you eliminate. So if you touch the lid or part of the Hand sanitizer it'll give you bacteria. Another reason is that your hand will always have some bacteria on it, no matter how many times you try and clean your hand.

Does alcohol kill your brain cells?

No. Hand sanitizers on your hands just kill pathogens (Pathogens is another word for germs, if you don't know what it means). The pathogens can't evade the alcohol. If they do, they may kill your brain cells. I do not know about other alcohols, but of course, it won't kill your brain cells if it doesn't have to do with killing germs. That was a very good question, anyway.

Alcohol based or Non-alcohol based Hand Sanitizers work well?

Hi, well I recently did a science fair project and with my results I found that non-alcohol based sanitizers work better then alcohol based sanitizers. However, they do not work that well, hand sanitizers only kill the germs, consequently, they are still there, dead or alive. Almanza, associate professor of restaurant, hotel, institutional and tourism management, says "the typical hand sanitizer, which is usually alcohol-based, strips the skin of the outer layer of oil, which normally prevents resident bacteria from coming to the surface." Hopefully this helps! ;)


Can hand sanitizer damage your skin?

No because hand sanitizer cleans off germs and is smooth though it's always good to use water AND soap. hope this helped :)WRONG! Alcohol DOES kill "germs", true. However alcohol breaks down the oils and fat in your skin. When oils and fat are removed from skin you are more likely to develop skin issues. Note: a fragrant lotion does NOT replace these oils and fats either. Most lotions and hand sanitizers have a "moisturizer". A moisturizer actually coats the skin with a substance that causes the skin to sweat so it feels moist and supple. This sweat further dries the skin. We have become a society of germaphobes. Alcohol based hand sanitizer should only be used when soap and water are not available. To be effective alcohol based hand sanitizers need at least a 15 second contact time to kill "germs". Most evaporate before the 15 second contact time.
