It GREATLY depends on the type of soap you're using. Keep in mind however that all soaps loosen the microbes on your skin to some degree.

Which brand of soap gets rid of germs the best?

To be fair, a lot of soap, shampoo, bleach products etc. do get rid of 100% of germs, except they can't can't possibly tell because the germs left over from something that says "Kills 99.99%" or "99.9% of germs" are too small to see beneath microscopes or any technology that has been invented. So therefore there is no specific best soap brand to get rid of germs.

Why does food rot when it is left out in the open?

It is due to the bacteria and other miniature germs present in the air getting interaction with the food molecules. When there is enough moisture, either on or in the food, bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers can survive on the food. Once they do, the bacteria consume the food, using it up and replacing it with their waste products. Some of these taste bad, and/or make you sick. That is why you can get food poisoning, even if you cook the spoiled food, because heat doesn't destroy the toxins left behind by the bacteria.

Why would a doctor recommend washing your hands to help prevent spreading a communicable disease?

With the advent of indoor plumbing and soap manufacturing, the spread of disease dropped dramatically. Simply washing the bacteria from your hands prevents transmission of germs from person to person.


How does washing your hands help prevent the spread of?

Microbes that cause disease are actually "things". Things that can be washed off like dirt. They can be washed off your hands before you touch yourself with the germs still on your hands. If you have the pathogens on your hands and then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes, the chance of getting the infection the germs cause is much higher. Washing your hands actually mechanically removes these "things" from your skin both with the friction and rubbing with the soap and also with the washing action of the running warm water. Drying your hands well on clean towels will also help dislodge any microbes left behind. In addition, the soap/detergents also affect some types of microbes by removing the protective fats/oils that surround them and/or hold them on your skin. It is hard to remember that you may have recently touched something in public that might have germs on it when your nose itches. You forget and rub it with the contaminated hands and pass the germs directly into the vulnerable mucous tissue. Try to develop some hand awareness habits and frequently used routines for washing hands after public contacts.

If you read the label you see it only gets rid of usually 99.9% of bacteria. that .1% multiples. washing your hands with hot soapy water is prop. the best thing you can do.
