Detailed explanation-1: -Handwashing will remove all types of germs from your hands, but hand sanitizers are not able to kill all types of germs or remove harmful chemicals like pesticides and heavy metals.
Detailed explanation-2: -True. The CDC recommends washing your hands for “at least 15 seconds.” However, it doesn’t have to specifically be 15 seconds as long as you properly clean all areas of your hands (i.e., palms, backs of hands, between your fingers, under your nails). It’s okay to wash your hands with water alone. False.
Detailed explanation-3: -Is it important to wash your hands? Simply put, yes. Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. You can spread certain “germs” (a general term for pathogens like viruses and bacteria) casually by touching another person.
Detailed explanation-4: -Instant Hand Sanitizer kills 99.99 percent of most common illness-causing germs in as little as 15 seconds. This refreshing alcohol-based formula contains moisturizers and Vitamin E to leave hands feeling soft and refreshed.
