Actually, "regular" soap doesn't kill germs; it simply weakens their bond to your skin by removing skin oil. The mechanical action of lathering, combined with the flushing action of running water, removes gems but it doesn't necessarily kill them. Antibacterial soaps, on the other hand, not only kill the germs on your skin; they may also leave behind residues that continue the antibacterial action for a few hours. They are also sometimes equal because they both remove the same amount of bacteria on your hands

Is antibacterial soap better than ordinary soap?
Antibacterial soaps are okay, the purpose of cleaning our hands keeps illnesses that spread at bay more successfully. The other side of the coin is that these soaps usually kill 99.9% of the bacteria, leaving some bacteria behind which then thrives. (In most cases it is best not to kill 99.9% because what stays behind is usually stronger than the bacteria killed. There are many good bacteria that we need in our environments as well, so when you wipe out 99.9% that includes good bacteria.They are same as regular soap.
Does antibacterial soap or antibacterial sanitizers kill more bacteria?
Actually, antibacterial soap and antibacterial sanitizers usually do about the same job on bacteria, killing roughly 99.99% of germs. But if its a question of which should you rather use, I would choose sanitizers because soap leaves nasty residue called soap scum which can make your hands feel greasy and disgusting:(
Does antibacterial soap kill more than non-bacterial soap?
yes antibacterial soap kills more gems than non antibacterial soap
Is antibacterial soap more affective than regular soap?
yes because antibacterial soap kills 99.9% of germs and regular soap has less than that.
How can antibiotics give rise to resistant strains of bacteria?
The theory is that any time you use an antibacterial agent, you can only kill 99.99% of the bacteria, while the remaining 0.01% may be bacteria more resistant than the original. When those few remaining bacteria multiply, they may be more difficult to destroy.
Should you wash your hands with soap?
There are arguments for, and arguments against washing with an antibacterial. One group says that it kills all the germs on your hands, which must be good. The other group says that it doesn't kill all the bacteria, and that by washing, a person cannot kill all the bacteria, so those bacteria that survive make more bacteria like themselves that are very resistant to the antibacterial. The point is to wash off bacteria with hand soap, I think, so they aren't as easily transported to your nose or eyes, which are very susceptible to infection.

The technology of antibacterial applied in textile industry is more and more widely. According to experts predict that in the next eight years, the annual growth rate of 10% of antibacterial fabrics markets around the world, healthy, natural, environmental protection will become the development trend of textiles.The mechanism of antibacterial fabric as following:1. Releasing mechanismUnder normal temperature and suitable humidity, the antibacterial textile can automatic release antibacterial agent, the release capacity is enough to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.2. Regeneration mechanismDuring washing process, the antibacterial chemical bond of antibacterial fabrics can break and regenerate anti bacterial agent, so then antibacterial agent content on the surface of the fabric can be keep in a certain state of equilibrium.3. Static bacteria proofThe antibacterial agent is as cationic, or through some kind of cationic substance with negatively charged fibers combined on the surface of fabric, to generate the obstacle of bacteria, so as to achieve the static bacteriostatic effect.
Does wiping a doorknob with an antibacterial wipe really reduce the numbers of bacteria?
yes.. because you are rubbing more bacteria onto the doorknob because the wash cloth/wipe also has bacteria on it
What are disadvantages of antibacterial hand soap?
some say that using antibacterial products can cause the bacteria to evolve a resistance to it and become "Stronger", and will not be killed in the future using the same products. It is common, ex. Flu virus. Here's a website for more info. http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/environment/attack-super-bacteria/
