Health Tip
Hand Sanitizer 101

The Centers for Disease Controls recommends washing hands with soap and water whenever possible. But if soap and water are not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. But they do not eliminate all types of germs and may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.

Tips on how to use hand sanitizer:
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. 
  • Put enough sanitizer on your hands to cover all surfaces.
  • Rub your hands together until they feel dry (this should take around 20 seconds).
  • Do NOT rinse or wipe off the hand sanitizer before it’s dry; it may not work well against germs.
Swallowing alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause alcohol poisoning. Children may be particularly likely to swallow hand sanitizers that are scented, brightly colored, or attractively packaged. Hand sanitizers should be stored out of the reach of young children and should be used with adult supervision.
