Problem
Infections are spread mostly via the hands. It almost goes without saying that it is particularly important for people who work in healthcare, in preschools or with food, for example, to keep their hands clean.
Hand disinfection with alcohol is very effective against all types of microorganisms. If you do it correctly, using the right technique and on dry hands, it is ten times more effective against bacteria than washing with soap and water is. Hand disinfection is often slapdash due to lack of time, and the result is worse than washing your hands in the ordinary way.
