think washing is better than the sanitizer, is this true?
You should always wash your hands if they are visibly soiled. Frequent hand washing can sometimes break down skin and cause irritation. This can discourage staff from doing hand hygiene as often as they should. So that is why we have the sanitizer available. It’s also a convenience thing as well.
The alcohol in the sanitizer actually kills the bacteria....where the act of proper hand washing mechanically removes them from your hands.
The difference is stuff like c diff and norovirus. Hand sanitizer isn’t as effective in killing it so hand washing is better. C diff are in small spores..the hand sanitizer just basically moves the spores around on your hand but doesn’t kill it.
