A good antibacterial soap is good to wash your hands with. You need to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 30 seconds to be effective. Also hand sanitizers are really good, but you need to use enough on your hands so that it takes at least 15 seconds to dry as you rub your hands. In the hospital where I work there are different kinds of hand sanitizers throughout, but there are always times that you need to wash your hands with soap and water, They are before eating, after using the bathroom and when your hands are visibly soiled. You also need to wash with soap and water when exposed to certain infectious diseases.What kills more germs - washing your hands with soap or hand sanitizers?
Well, I have been taught to use hand sanitizer, and only use soap and water when your hands are visibly dirty.


You would have to use an antibacterial soap, and lather for about 10-15 seconds.


The hand sanitizer does tend to dry out your skin, causing tiny breaks in your skin, which makes you MORE susceptible to infection.


I tend to prefer hand sanitizer, myself.
Nothing can beat soap and water! :)


Hand sanitizers are only supposed to be there if soap and water aren't available. Like in hospitals, they used it because it saves everyone washing their hands all the time because they can't exactly have sinks everywhere but when they have to do an operation or something they ALWAYS use soap and water because its the best! :) Hope i helped! x
