Best Answer

Soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizers at removing certain germs or bacteria whereas alcohol-based sanitizers can inactivate many types of microbes very effectively. Hand sanitizers contain alcohol that acts as a cleansing agent. It has antimicrobial and antibacterial agents that destroy or inactivate the activity of germs or bacteria from the hands in just a few seconds. Therefore, hand sanitizers might be used when you are traveling in crowded areas where you are going to touch a lot of articles or objects, so at that time they act as an effective alternative for hand wash.
