If you wash your hands with Purell, then wash your hands with soap and water 5 minutes afterwards, did you wash off/undo the Purell? Just wondering how long the Purell has to be on your hands to kill the germs. Is it possible to wash it off?
In: Biology
If you wash your hands with soap and water, then you don’t need to use purell or alcohol sanitizer because soap and water is the best way to clean your hands for majority of things.
Alcohol works by “drying out” organisms, so as soon as it is completely dry, then it has done its job and you can wash it off your hands if you don’t want to have the residue on you…but again, if you are going to wash your hands, you don’t need to use the alcohol to begin with.
If I wasn’t clear or you have questions, please ask.
Hope this helps.
