How do soap and sanitizer differ in how they work? Which on is better in situations like now and why?
In: Chemistry
Purpose of soap isn’t to kill germs. It’s to remove them and their excrement from your hand by binding to oil and allowing the water to rinse if off and down the drain.
Sanitizer’s goal is to kill the germs as they lie on your hand. Germs are killed, but their bodies and fluids and excrements remain on your hand.
