Whats the difference between soap and water and hibiscrub in their relative abilities as disinfectants?

Hibiscrub is way more effective against soap because it contain chlorhexidine as it's active ingredient. Chlorhexidine is a chemical antiseptic that is very effective in eliminating both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It works by killing and preventing the reproduction of bacteria. Soap is more to lipid emulsifier.. It removes dirt (which is usually lipid based) rather than clearing bacteria and supprisingly, it causes more bacteria to be present on the skin (compared to prior handwashing) because during handwashing, the bacteria are 'pressed' into skin pores... Well, that's wut i heard from my lcturer. But yeah we did an experiment on handwashing.. It turns out that soap n water results in more bacteria on ur hands.
