Not always. Sometimes it just adds more viruses on. Sanitizer strips your hand of natural oils, and that makes it easier to keep germs ( good and bad) on your hands. It is safer to use soap and water!

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! ;)
