How many germs does a normal bar of soap kill compared to hand sanitizer?

Just curious xDHow many germs does a normal bar of soap kill compared to hand sanitizer?
Hand sanitizer, which is usually at least 65% alcohol, kills 99% of germs. The alcohol instantly saps the bacteria of water, so they're unable to survive in that environment. Hand soap can vary depending on its contents and how thoroughly you wash your hands. Mostly, it just acts as a lubricant to get things off your skin (dirt, dead skin, etc) and cuts grease because it's made with a base chemical.How many germs does a normal bar of soap kill compared to hand sanitizer?
Normal soap thats not antibacterial soap doesnt even kill germs, it just makes them slide off. This can be better than antibacterial soap however because bacteria can adapt and survive it (unless all the alcohol does the killing). Hand sanitizer would be better with the alcohol
Bar soap doesn't get rid of germs, they are loaded with germs! So sanitizer kills way more then te bar soap. The reason why bar soap is loaded with germs is because say someone is going to wash their hands, right nd their hands are loaded with harmful germs and they touch the soap and then put it back then the next person goes to wash their hands and their coating their hands in the harmful germs the other person had on their hands and then adventually the person will get sick. GO SANITIZER! Hope this helped ^^!
