I know this to be true, and wash my hands often. My son prefers hand sanitizer and will get annoyed when I ask him to wash his hands, despite me telling him its better than hand sanitizer. He asked me why and honestly, I dont know. Killing 99.9% of germs seems like pretty good odds but its something to do with the scrubbing motion, right?

If you have poop on your hands and you rub your hands with hand sanitizer… you still have poop on your hands. If you wash your hands with soap and water, you remove the poop from your hands and the poop germs.
