Does hand sanitizer clean as good as hand soap?

2010-04-28T04:28:00.000-07:00

The other day I wanted to buy some hand soap for the bathroom and ended up buying hand sanitizer instead. I want to know if it's okay to wash my hands with the sanitizer and use it up or do I need to get hand soap cause the sanitizer won't clean my hands as good as hand soap? I don't want to be walking around with hands that aren't clean after using the bathroom.Does hand sanitizer clean as good as hand soap?
If this is an alcohol based sanitizer, I wouldn't replace soap with it. I've used some frequently at work recently because I was sick and wasn't always around soap. It will dry out your skin bad if you use it every time you go to the bathroom. Over a week of just using it when soap was out of reach, my hands were cracking and dry to the the point my knuckles were almost bleeding. I wouldn't substitute it.Does hand sanitizer clean as good as hand soap?
Yes. Hand sanitizer gets rid of all the bacteria on your hand. but that's not quite good necessarily because some bacteria is good for you and when you kill it with hand sanitizer, that can be bad for you. hand sanitizer is more of something you would use if you run out of soap or are on a hike or camping. i would recommend next time just getting your regular soap. sometimes advertisements are deceiving though and you would think that killing 99.9% of bacteria would be better but sometimes it isn't. oops sorry this is so long for such a simple question.
my understanding is that the hand sanitizers will sanitize what ever is on your hands

so in your case it is sanitizing the 'dirt' that is still on there

it doesn't remove things, it just sanitizes what is there

so if you only have sanitizer, then use it for sure

but soap will get rid of the dirt
Hand sanitizer doesn't clean anything. It just kills microbes. All it is is KY jelly mixed with alcolol.
Nope--hand sanitizer is just a temporary solution for when you don't have soap. It's like a glove around your hands.
Sanitizer does not clean anything, soap does.
I believe that handsoap is the best but if you are in a hurry or out on he tim for the dayhandsanitize is just good enough
sanitizer is good for when a wash room is unavailable. it will dry your skin a lot, where soap won't .

My hand soap smells after putting it in a pump, what the heck?

2010-04-28T04:27:00.003-07:00

hey you guys usually I'm the one doing the answering lol but this time I could use some tips. My liquid hand soap tends to start smelling after putting it in my kids decorative hand pump. We have an ';ocean'; theme in our bath and the hand pump for the soap is a glass octopus, or I should say ceramic. Every time I put soap in it, it starts to stink! I've smelled the soaps in the containers before pouring it in the octopus and it smells so great then after its poured into the ceramic octopus in a few days it starts to stink like a strong chemical odor. Like something in a paint shop or body shop. What's the deal you guys?My hand soap smells after putting it in a pump, what the heck?
First, look on the bottom of your decorative hand pump, and see where it was made. Maybe it was made with a chemical that reacts with the soap. Could even be lead. Second, do you rinse it out every time, before refilling? If not, do that, rinse in hot water and pump hot water through the pump, until it pumps clean. It could be that the old soap is smelling after it sits in the pump for awhile. I know if you let it sit for long periods of time, without using it, like pushing it to the back of your cabinet and forgetting it is there, it takes on a terrible smell. Hope one of these helps you.My hand soap smells after putting it in a pump, what the heck?
Believe it or not soap has a shelf life and it sounds like the soap that was left in the container went rancid. Clean the pump,plastic tube and container with dish washing liquid and rinse with some white vinegar and then water.
Could be a chemical reaction caused by the soap and something on the ceramic.

try buying a new glass soap dispenser and see if that helps.

Does bar soap or liquid hand soap go bad? Why? Thanks?

2010-04-28T04:27:00.002-07:00

Why? Did it taste different the last time you ate some?

How long will the soap last?

I was wondering how long my home made soap will last? I make soaps with milk and oats, and sometimes fruit and veggie juice. I was reading some soap pages on the net and it said that a lot of veggie made soaps (olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, etc) don't last as long (a few weeks or so). I wanted to make some soaps as gifts for the family and I want them to be able to last at least a year or more, how would I accomplish this???

You're talking about how long they will stay good in storage? At first I thought you meant in use... but I think you mean how long before they might go bad when stored. If you are making gifts, I would not make them way in advance because the fragrances will fade over time. It's better to time your soapmaking so that the soap is well cured but not old when you give it if possible... maybe make it two months in advance of giving it (you could do six weeks, I'm just tossing out a number there). If you want soap that will keep longer in storage, the following will help that to happen:

Don't go overboard with lye discounting/superfatting... Personally, I would not go higher than 5% lye discount. Accurate measuring is important here.

Don't fill your soap with too many unsaponifiable ingredients... like plant or vegetable fiber, fruits, etc. Those can go bad in storage and sometimes even mold if the chunks are very large. Small bits of dried herb should be okay if you don't overload the soap with it.

It would appear that you should avoid superfatting at trace. If fats added then don't get well blended before the soap is poured, they may be more inclined to go bad during storage. I prefer to put all my oils in at the beginning and only add fragrances and additives (like color, herbs) if needed at the end.

Don't store your soaps in airtight conditions. A semi-closed environment that gets a bit of air is good. That way they will be less inclined to sweat in storage but won't lose so much fragrance as they can if given total open air. I would not wrap them until it is close to the time you are going to give them as gifts. They continue to lose moisture for a long time and will keep shrinking (less and less but enough for labels to loosen, for example).

Soap that was made with no lye discount (and we are assuming is still balanced and not lye heavy) will keep for a LONG time without any rancidity. It might lose its smell over time and get hard as a rock, but will still be good soap. Whenever you add extra fat for mildness, you are lessening the longevity of your bars. If you plan to use them in short order, this is not a problem and most people use their soap within a year or two. I've heard of boxed up soap being found in old houses and still being good after who knows how long! Amazing.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

...It's possible that thing you read was in reference to how long the soap lasts when being used. Some all vegetable soaps will soften and melt down quicker in the dish than soaps made with beef tallow, for instance. Palm oil helps all-vegetable soaps to be hard and longer lasting. That in addition to coconut are good to blend with a conditioning oil such as olive.Does bar soap or liquid hand soap go bad? Why? Thanks?

Does bar soap or liquid hand soap go bad? Why? Thanks?
i don't think that it does
if u dont put a cover on it or change it every now and than it will collect bacteria that is very bad for ur skin and others
Only after a few millenia. The glycerine and fats in modern soaps does not go rancid because of the manufacturing process involving chemical stabilizers. The polymer chains are mostly carbon based, so its halflife would be a VERY, VERY long time.

How to wash your hands without soap residue going into the tank?

2010-04-28T04:27:00.000-07:00

How are you suppose to wash your hands so whatever is on your hands doesn't go into the tank and harm your fish without the soap residue going in and harming fish?! Do they sell a soap that's safe for fish?How to wash your hands without soap residue going into the tank?
Once you've washed your hands with soap just rinse them very very well and then dry. Should be fine. I've never had a problem with my tanks and always rinse my hands very well before going on to stick my hands in a tank.How to wash your hands without soap residue going into the tank?
You can wash your hands with soap, but make sure it's not a concentrate soap or one with moisturizers in it. A plain antibacterial soap is just fine.

Make sure to rinse extremely well, even under the fingernails before putting your hands in tank.

I personally use Dial soaps and have never had a problem, however I've noticed with Ivory dish washing soap, it's so concentrated that even if it feels like you've rinsed your hand thoroughly, there is still residue.

I have no idea if there is a soap safe for fish, but once you are careful in rinsing your hands thoroughly and use plain soap, your fine.
As others have said, as long as you rinse very well, you should be fine. Alternately, I have seen rubber gloves made for working in the tank. They go all the way to the shoulder! This is an option if you are very worried about it.
dont use soap just wash them well under warm water

DO YOU CARE IF YOUR HAND SOAP IS ANTl-BACTERIAL OR NOT......?

Science porjects ideas about hand sanitizer versus soap?

2010-04-28T04:26:00.002-07:00

have several people put lotion on their hands and before the lotion dries give them glitter to rub into their hands.....the lotion will make the glitter stick

have some people wash their hands with just water

have some wash with soap and cold water

have some wash with soap and really warm water

have others just use hand sanatizer...

glitter represents germs

Warm soapy water should work best

Which is better hand sanitizer or soap and water?

2010-04-28T04:26:00.000-07:00

sanitizer i good once in a while

you don't want to use it all the time b/c, notice how it only kills 99.9(9)% of germs, well the other .01% are strong, harsh germs that the sanitizer isent strong enough to kill, and they still continue to multiply, so as result, you have the srtong, harsh germs multiplying, instead of the other weaker germs.Which is better hand sanitizer or soap and water?
in my opinion santinizerWhich is better hand sanitizer or soap and water?
Sanitizer is good if you're just killing germs, but it doesn't do a thing as far as removing dirt. I tend to agree with what a lot of doctors say; it's best to wash your hands with warm water and soap, scrubbing your hands for at least 30 seconds before rinsing.

Bar or liquid, hand soap?

2010-04-28T04:25:00.003-07:00

i usually wash my hands with whatever girly liquid hand soap is here, right now i'm going around smelling like sweet peas! when i want to be more manly i use the dish soap in the kitchen.Bar or liquid, hand soap?
I prefer hand soap, but we always tend to buy the irish spring bars, god I know i am irish, but hell i dont want to smell like a man...lolBar or liquid, hand soap?
liquid
liquid soap all the way for everything...they have the exfoliating beadsin them i love those things...make you feel cleaner
Liquid for sure.
Liquid, it's cleaner and more hygenic!
for hand soap is definitely has to be liquid...who knows what kind of yucky things could be on the bar!!!!
Liquid. But seriously thinking about switching soon to bar. Getting your hands wrapped around the bar %26amp; knowing all of your hand %26amp; wrist is getting clean.
liquid, because bar soap has too many germs
do not use soaps..they contain chemicals harmful to the environment..
liquid.
Always liquid.

I don't have any bar soap in my house anymore.
I always use liquid soap as the bar soap drys your skin out bad.
bar....except liquid always smells better
liquid
I prefer liquid hand soap because only you get that drop of liquid soap when you squeeze it from the container and the bar soap helps to spread bacteria because when someone rub the soap the dirt/ bacteria from their hands goes on to the soap and then you rub your hand on the soap the bacteria is transferred to your hand. So liquid soap is better to use even if you are the only one using it.

My husband likes liquid hand soap but I prefer bar because it doesn't leave the slimy residue.
I prefer liquid. I don't like chasing that bar of soap all over the sink top to pick it up. Then when it's all wet, the dang thing won't stay in that little soap dish area.
bath %26amp; body works foam soap. =)
Bar is more comfy and easy to use..^_^
I like liquid handsoap better because I feel like I can spread it around on my hands better and get them cleaner.
Bar. A generic ';Ivory-type'; soap. I use that for everything in the shower.
Bar. I never use any soap except Dove.( The pink)
bar but don't get drunk
Bars. They're A LOT cheaper and last a lot longer, too. Better yet, buy bars of soap made only from organic materials, and you save the environment, too!
i prefer a bar hand soap it doesnt take so time to wash my hands with it!
I only use the dial foaming hand soap, it is easy for my 6yr old to use
liquid becouse the bar slides every where(in the shower the sink)and if it slides in the floor it would get germs on it so you would be washing with germs
I'd prefer liquid. As it was posted somewhere else in some book, more people touch the bar soap and that gets YOU in contact with other germs. The liquid i say is more cleaner. not touched by anyone else(the liquid), except the only part touched by others is the squirt action thingy. which by then you'd be washing you hands.

Have you ever washed your hair with dish or hand soap?

2010-04-28T04:25:00.000-07:00

A few times. Not a very good idea though. Takes out all the natural oils and leaves it really dry and static, well we won't go there.Have you ever washed your hair with dish or hand soap?
no but had a friend years ago use fabric softener for a hair softenerHave you ever washed your hair with dish or hand soap?
yes, and it's awful to use on your hair; don't do it!! much to drying on the hair and scalp!!
Yeah, when I run out of shampoo I use bar soap.
A few times I`ve used Palmolive dish soap when I`ve run out f shampoo. It does a really good job because it cleans the soap residue left on your hair from regular shampoos. I wouldn`t make a habit of it because it can dry out your hair but occasionally it`s even a good idea.
I have wash my hair yesterday,.with mashed bananas,.

lol,I had to do that once,and I tell you,made my hair feel crappy,oh and it was hand soap
No. But i have washed my body with Shampoo when i was little, a lot.. I don't know.. It sounds weird..
No, that will strip color outta your hair! (If you have color on it--don't know what it would do without the color).
done it will camping. that is why people that made there own soap[lye] looked like they were ran over by a mack truck all the time. I am talking about years ago before any of us were ever born. no tooth brushes. no tampons. no birth control. take a bath once a month or not at all. or how would like to take a bath in water that had been used 20 times before u?
Yes, when travelling and in total desperation. Turns your hair into straw - don't try it unless you have to! Oh, and I had to use hand soap once in Hong Kong, where the water is so hard you can't get normal shampoo to lather properly.

Antibacterial Hand soap???

2010-04-28T04:23:00.001-07:00

I was at the store buying soap, and I found it was cheaper to by a bulk jug of Dial anibacterial handsoap that to buy antibacterial body wash. My friends came over to my house and saw the jug of Dial in the shower, because I was using it for body wash instead. They scolded me becuase they heard it was harmful to use antibacterial handsoap as body wash. I have checked the ingredients, and there really is no difference. There are no warnings against using the handsoap for your whole body, so why not???Antibacterial Hand soap???
you're right. you can use hand soap for you body. if you're body does get dry, then just use lotion. there's not really any difference but body wash might have a different scent or ingredient to make your skin softer.Antibacterial Hand soap???
Dial is good. I wouldn't worry.
I think your friends were refering to the fact that you are using antibacterial soap. It has been proven that not all bacteria is bad, and killing off the stuff that we need on our bodies to ward off infections and germs causes us to get sicker that we would have if we had just used soap.
technically it isn't harmful, but i could see it drying out your skin if it doesn't contain any moisturizers in it.

soap and water are better for you in the long term. hand sanitizer can not only dry out your skin but it also kills all the good bacteria your skin needs to be healthy causing many other skin probelms.

I always use hand sanitzer when out and about but when given the choice i'll always choose soap and water first.

i heard hand sanitizer doesn't just kill the bad germs, but the ';good'; germs as well.

so apparently it is really bad for you in the long run.

plus, it has been proven if you use it three or more times a day, for six or seven years, it can effect your health ? i think.

Hand soap or liquid soap???????

2010-04-28T04:21:00.000-07:00

which is better? why?Hand soap or liquid soap???????
liquid is more hygienic because it comes in a bottle or you can buy a refillable bottle unlike a bar of soap which gets touched by everyone and accumulates dirt and germsHand soap or liquid soap???????
liquid, easier to use ^^
Liquid Soap - Smells nicer :)
liquid
liquid

its fun
hand soap it lasts much longer i think
Liquid...not sure any is better than the other...I just like the liquid soap better....
Liquid soap. Hand soap needs to be washed after use otherwise it goes foamy. You try washing with foamy soap.
I perfer Foam Soup!!!
liquid. so much better cause it foams up more and people cant get their dirty hands all over it like bar soap...yuck!
Liquid for sure. Because germs LOVE the hand soap.
Liquid soap!!! It is less messy and germ free!!!!
Liquid. Easier to use and germs, bacteria, dirt, etc don't linger on it like they do with bars.

i think hand sanitizer is better cuz if u out in the street got your hand dirty u dont want people see u using hand soap . hand santiizer kill 99% of germs. i perfer u should use hand sanitizerWould u rather use hand sanitizer or hand soap?
I use hand soap cause that actually washes your hands and gets them clean where most people tend to think that sanitizer alone is ok which its not and you could still get sick.Would u rather use hand sanitizer or hand soap?
If id just come out of the toilet i would use soap.

But my FAVOURITE is hand sanitiser, im addicted to it!!! mainly because im kinda a germ freak but yeah,

Do you think I could use hand soap......?

2010-04-28T04:20:00.001-07:00

...to wash things that go in sensitive places?

~wink~Do you think I could use hand soap......?
Just make sure to rinse them REALLY well so the soap doesn't irritate you. They also make specials washes and cleaning sprays for such things :)Do you think I could use hand soap......?
Ummm, no...I think that you probably need something more suited for those ';things';, hand soap can contain dyes and fragrances that can irritate those ';sensitive places';.
I would be careful using hand soaps that have perfume in them. They could cause irritation or infections in you sensitive places.
Yes, that is fine. Wash them soon after use so no bacteria has any chances to grow on the surfaces, and scrub each one for 20 seconds before rinsing.
That depends on exactly what you are washing, and how sensitive the place is.
Maybe ...?

Does anti-bacterial hand soap expire?

2010-04-28T04:20:00.000-07:00

So I have this big refill bottle of generic hand-soap and it's like three years old. Can I still use it?Does anti-bacterial hand soap expire?
Allegra, your soap might have lost some of it's anti-bacterial properties a few years ago, but it's still soap, and soap is good. A few of those little bacterias that you graciously permitted to live will produce some antigens for whom your immune system will enthusiastically produce antibodies. Those antibodies might some day save your life when your go uptown and eat at that little Chinese restaurant with the flashing neon sign. Keep the soap!Does anti-bacterial hand soap expire?
I'm not sure...I think you could still use it but I'd say don't because it might cause you some problem with your skin. I really don't know if soap ever expires, so I'm just guessing but...it's an interesting question. I wonder if it ever expires??
I work at a restaurant and often I scratch my anus, and my genitals, but I always use soap afterwards. No one has gotten sick yet so I guess it works.
I would totally use it. If i was some fancy Hollywood type with hand-soap i would use it, and you got a jug of the stuff, and its only 3 years old!

Plus all hand soap on Earth was made 50 years ago, they just change the label.

3 year old hand-soap is a vintage year i believe.
if it were me I would throw it out and get myself a new smaller bottle

Hand sanitizer vs. hand soap?

2010-04-28T04:19:00.001-07:00

which is most eco-friendly, cost efficient, healthy and why?Hand sanitizer vs. hand soap?
sanitizer dont removw dirt

but bacteria are everywhere, impossible to get rid ofHand sanitizer vs. hand soap?
There are few handsanitizers that are eco-friendly. Most are just rubbing alcohol, or if they are anitbacterial they will likely contain either a pesticide, herbicide or fungicide, not a good thing to absorb into your body. The over use of these things are also causing bacteria to become resistant and harder to fight off.

So, it is better to use a natural soap and lather for 30-60 seconds before rinsing if you want clean hands.
I have heard that hand sanitizer works better than hand soap, I think it was because a certain percentage of people do not wash their hands properly. Sanitizer, in my opinion, is probably more eco-friendly, cost efficient and healthy. I say eco-friendly only because you do not need to wipe or wash it off (no paper towels, no water). Cost efficient because it is pretty darn cheap and healthy because of my original answer, most people do not wash their hands properly. Hope this helps!

I have read that hand sanitizer gets rid of many bacteria that we ';need'; and that soap and water is better for general usage. Also, hand sanitizer, when used frequently, can dry out your hands so be sure to use lotion afterward.

However, sanitizer may be more eco-friendly due to not needing water and papertowels. I bring a hankie with me to dry my hands with instead of using paper towels.

bar soap or hand soap ?

2010-04-28T04:19:00.000-07:00

what is better for health wise, bar soap or hand soap?and why bar soap or hand soap ?
Hand soap is healthier. If you have lots of different people using bar soap, there's a good chance they might leave something on it. (soap doesn't clean itself) However, with hand soap, it's difficult to contaminate the entire bottle and the pump is small so whatever is left behind poses a smaller risk. Also, it's typically easier to wash thoroughly using liquid soap. Either way, these differences are so small, that it doesn't really matter which one you use, the result will be almost entirely the same. bar soap or hand soap ?
I like the liquid type soaps because you just use what you need, and they are in a hygienic container but with the bar soaps you could be leaving behind a bunch of germs that get used over and over again.
idk either way u have 2 touch something some1 already touched. eg hand soap the pump and bar soap the soap.

DO you like hand made soap?

2010-04-28T04:18:00.001-07:00

I am making hand made soap now and I really like it. As I have used it more I become more and more critical of store bought detergents. What is your opinion?DO you like hand made soap?
OMG There's a store here in Tokyo, it's like, tiny, at the airport it's like, all handmade, super cute soaps. They smell like, delicious, and I've got like 1000 of them!! I love them =DDO you like hand made soap?
I tend to agree. With Hand Made soap you have the freedom from harsh detergents and chemicals and can enjoy any number of natural alternatives!

Lavender, eucalyptus, rosewood, roses, lemon balm, you name it! And you can use essential oils as a base for the scent and/or skin conditioning ingredients!!

Hope this helps!
Once you use a good handmade soap, there's no going back. I've been making my own since 1998 and I love it.

When you make your own, you have the freedom to decide what you're going to put on your skin and since it's your biggest organ, that's pretty important!

I'll bet you've found that your soap lathers better and your skin doesn't feel like it's dry and tight anymore.

Even higher end soaps like the body shops (though nice) just can't quite compare.

I get some personal satisfaction from making my soaps as well. It's tons of fun and you get to be creative which is something I enjoy alot.

Happy Soaping!

Cathy
I love my handmade soaps, as does my husband. He travels a lot and stays in motels. He has started taking my handmade soaps as the soaps in the hotels cause him to have dry irritated skin. So my vote is for the handmade soaps, whether i make them or someone else does.
I defiantly agree you can also go onto www.lush.com and this is a store full of hand made beauty product with all natural ingredients..
Since, I had never used your soap,

I simply can't answer your question.

You would have to eat quite a bit, and I sincerely hope that the taste would deter one from doing that. You'd get diarreah pretty bad I reckon, and vomit quite a bit too.Can hand soap kill you??
Most bar soaps are considered non-toxic (relatively harmless).

It won't kill you, but it will give some folks a case of diarrhea.

Hand soap or hand sanitizer?

2010-04-28T04:17:00.003-07:00

Which do you prefer?Hand soap or hand sanitizer?
Dog shampoo !Hand soap or hand sanitizer?
Handsoap whenever possible. It is best to wash and rinse away germs. Hand sanitizers leave the dead germs on your hands, don't they. That is if the claims to kill 99.9% of them are true to begin with, some products just say that. Hot, soapy water and a vigorous scrub is best. Turn the faucet off with your elbow and don't forget to open the door with a paper towel. A lot of people don't wash their hands. You touch the handle they used and you might as well not have washed yours either. I use a sleeve, shirt tail or even my hand in a pocket to open doors in public restrooms where they have blowers and no paper towels. Doors to public restrooms should be push in, push out, don't you think?
Sanitizer at work and soap and water at home followed by lotion. Too much of either leave my hands feeling dry.
I prefer hand soap because it doesn't dry out my hands. But hand sanitizer kills ';the germs.';
I like hand soap but maybe b/c i use it alot

but hand sanitizer is good too, but i don't use it often

Both. I prefer hand sanitizer when I am on the go at a public restroom (if it is really crowded and I just want to get out of there) or if I was going to be late for school and didn't have the time to sit there and wash them. I also prefer hand soap because I believe that they do give a better cleaning then sanitizer when I wash my hands. I hope I helped! Have a great morning!

Hand soap on sweater?

i JUST bought a new very expensive sweater. wen i went to wash my hands it squirted all over it. it says to hand wash cold. so i rinsed the spots with water, however, there is now a stain. the sweater is green, it smells heavely of soap and there is a blue ring around it. how do i get it out?Hand soap on sweater?
Fill a small load in washer with cold water, leave lid open. Let the sweater sit in the water overnight. On HAND WASH cycle, let the washer spin and drain. Repeat, trying to avoid the agitate cycle, unless you trust your washer. (I don't trust mine).

Lay out to dry as usual. If this doesn't work, try the dry cleaners.Hand soap on sweater?
Don't put it in the machine to spin!

Trust me, it will stretch it even on the delicate cycle.

Get some Oxy Clean, mix in a cup or bowl with hot water.

Take the area of the soap on the sweater and place in small tub or a rubbermaid type container.

Fill the container with cool water and then add Oxy Clean. Let it sit for several hours and then rinse area with cool clean water.

Place sweater on a couple of towels and lay flat. Use another towel on the top of the sweater and push down to get excess water up.

Remove top towel and let air dry.

For me, I find the moisturizing ones to last longer than the foams but not by much. I'll agree with the second commenter, best to stock up during sales. I always look online for reference before heading to Bath and Body Works :)

yes i use it every time i wash my hands at home and some places that have it when i am away from home.
Yes i use it all the time
No. Using antibacterial agents indiscriminantely means that you get bacteria who are, through the process of natural selection, immune to antibacterial agents. I just use regular soap. It's cheaper, and I'm not helping create a new generation of superbugs.
No,regular soap and water
Have some in my purse and in the car.
I use Dial soap but I also use the non-dye (without the yellow dye) anti-bacterial soap since they do not dry my skin up on my hands.

Is Hand Soap Toxic To Hamsters?

2010-04-28T04:14:00.000-07:00

SyriansIs Hand Soap Toxic To Hamsters?
It is hand soap that you cleaned his cage with? Hmmm... if it was a floor cleaner or anyting toxic to humans than I would say yes, but since that is not the case, I would say no. Hamsters die for many reasons and he could have been old or anything might have happened. So sorry to hear about your hammy. Also, you know that it is not the soap as it was two days later.Is Hand Soap Toxic To Hamsters?
hamsters LOVE to chew on things, including their cages. if there was enough residue on the bars for him to ingest, it definitely could have k.o'd the little guy. Sorry. :(
Sad. I don't know but I am SO sorry. I hope you are OK. :(
It was probably not the handsoap, especially if you rinsed it really well. However, I don't use soap on my gerbil's cage--I use Lemon Quat and warm water. It's totally non-toxic to small animals. You can buy it at any pet store, it's fairly inexpensive, and one bottle will last you a long time. Depending on where you go, it may just be called ';small pet cage disinfectant.'; It comes in a spray bottle and it works really well (just don't spray it on your pet--I know this is probably a given, but you know...). Give it a try; you'll probably end up liking it better than soap anyway.

P.S. Always read labels carefully before trying a new pet product!
Handsoap is perfectly fine as long as you rinse it out well and completely dry it before you put the hamster back in...
If you rinsed the cage out propley I dont think it would of been.

But if you are planning on getting another hamster in the future you can buy disinfectant sprays from all pet stores especially designed to clean out all rodant cages. It will kill all harmful bacteria in the cage and is very safe to use.
dont ever clean your hampsters cage with any kind if soap!!! it will kill them!!! you will just have to scrub.

Green antibacterial hand soap?

2010-04-25T18:59:00.001-07:00

Hello,

Have you heard of that new cleaning brand ';Green Works'; by Clorox? Well.. I was wondering if that company had a hand soap or something?

Sam

Green antibacterial hand soap?
Any soap, when used correctly, will remove germs from your hands without having to have a special antibacterial agent.

Soap up your hands by rubbing them vigorously for at least 30 seconds, paying special attention to the area around your nails. Rinse and dry on a clean towel. There you go, your hands are now clean.

Green antibacterial hand soap?
There is no need for antibacterial soap, a real soap kills germs. The important thing is to wash your hands for several seconds not just apply and rinse. I use natural ca stile soap, vinegar and baking soda to clean almost everything. The only other things I use are laundry soap and dishwasher soap. My family rarely gets sick, so they seem to be doing what they are designed to do. There is a lot of evidence that all the antibacterial and sanitizing cleaners are just making viruses and bacteria stronger, it's a lot like the over use of penicillin, it used to be the wonder drug, now it is virtually ineffective.

I find most of my cleaners at health food stores, but Method and Seventh Generation are both good companies and are found in many grocery or chain stores. You may have noticed I didn't list Green Works. I won't buy cleaning supplies from a company that doesn't list every ingredient, the others I mentioned either have them on the label or list them on the website.

Since most doctors say antibacterial hand soap really doesn't stop any illnesses better than regular soap and it only promotes drug-resistant bacteria, and most environmentalists say antibacterial hand soap should be kept out of the water system altogether, I find it hard to believe there's a green version of antibacterial soap.
Not that I am aware of, however, I would recommend ordering some things from Shaklee; if you are interested, I will give you someones' URL. Their stuff is GREAT!

If you do not care to order online, then Method @ Target makes liquid hand soap.

HTHs
these guys make all natural, hand made soaps that are great so check out their site, they may have what you're looking for.

Should i wash my bays cloth with baby soap by hand or use baby detergent in washing machine ? which is good?

2010-04-25T18:58:00.003-07:00

i heard that i should not use baby detergent washing my baby cloth , instead of that i should use baby soap for wash by hand to avoid other skin desease upto six month . is that true ?Should i wash my bays cloth with baby soap by hand or use baby detergent in washing machine ? which is good?
I so would not do that unless I had a reason to, like the dr. saying it was best for the baby! You could always run the washer a 2nd time without soap or just use the detergent made for baby's clothing like DreftShould i wash my bays cloth with baby soap by hand or use baby detergent in washing machine ? which is good?
i washed all of my sons clothes in any regular type of detergent ( usually purex or arm%26amp;hammer) and he is just find. No skin problems at all. And i used a washing machine to do it.
With my first child we used baby detergent in our washing machine. He has eczema, which has gotten better. We wash all of our clothes with regular detergent, including our second child's clothes, and she has never had any problems. I see no need to spend the money on expensive detergent. Unless the item has a tag saying dry clean or hand-wash only, we don't get fussy.
I used All Free and Clear and Dreft in the washing machine. I did not use any fabric softener, or anything else. The All Free and Clear and the Dreft are made for babies sensitive skin. The Free and Clear does not have any added scents, or colors that may aggitate sensitive skin.
I think it is fine to wash them in the baby detergent in the washer. Unless the baby gets a rash from it. If you have a new baby you are going to have enough to do besides washing out clothes by hand.
I always have washed all my (3) kids in regular detergent and fabric softener without any prob. but if they develop a rash from regular you can use All Free and Clear I have heard its the same as the expensive baby detergents
I have actually used baby detergent in the wash and i've also used regular detergents. It didn't make a difference at all.
I would definitely use a washing machine. It will rince the soap out better than washing by hand.
Dreft, is great for the baby clothes. In the washer.
i have 3 kids and never did i do there clothing by hand i would only do that if i had to, a baby is alot to do why add more?
take a Sm load of baby clothes and wash them in the detergent that you use for your self. Keep them aside so you know which ones they are and then have baby wear them if your baby skin okay then you know that you can use one laundry detergent for all of you. If you really need to keep it all separate try a single washing machine. They are Sm and fit under a sink you can find them in camping supply stores they do one load at a time and them hang dry your clothes. That way you know they get real clean and it is faster then hand washing.
I have never heard of this before. I used baby detergent for the first month and than started using regular detergent and once I saw that there were no irritations on the skin I kept using the regular detergent.

Does your family have a history of skin issues?

I found this online ';It is best to use laundry detergent and not laundry soap because soap removes the special fire retardant chemicals on your baby's clothes';

Is it okay to use liquid hand soap....... ?

2010-04-25T18:58:00.001-07:00

as a lubricant in the shower for a quickie ??Is it okay to use liquid hand soap....... ?
No!

it can cause painful irritation, burning, and redness.

i would NEVER use that. It's especially painful for the woman

-OUCHH!Is it okay to use liquid hand soap....... ?
Dont try it! One time i was in the shower and decided to use soap as lube and then it started burning like crazy down there for the rest of the day! And it can cause a yeast infection maybe you could try baby oil or something

Hope i helped=)
Don't do that.

First of all it wouldn't work very well as a lubricant.

Secondly, you'll probably get a yeast infection. Most hand soap is antibacterial and it will kill the good bacteria you have.
i would say no because the vagina is very sensative and using liquid hand soap as lube doesnt sound like a good idea...i wouldent do that use baby oil or something instead
Sure, if you don't mind yeast infections. Soap can throw of the acidic balance ';down there'; and cause a yeast infection.

Heavy duty hand soap?

2010-04-25T18:58:00.000-07:00

Can anyone reccommend a heavy duty hand soap that can get rid of tough grease and dirt? Something that mechanics use? and where can I buy it?Heavy duty hand soap?
Trick is to put regular shaving foam on your hands before you get to work--rub your hands together like your washing and get it under your nails. Then wipe your hands somewhat dry and dive in to the wrenching....when you're done wash your hands as normal with Lava soap and the shaving cream will prevent a lot of the grease and dirt from sticking to your hands to begin with. Also, I use Dawn dish soap--cuts the grease and Lava--- Gojo with pumice is what we use to use in the shop. Get some latex gloves or mechanix gloves for lots of daily use and your hands won't crack and dry up so much. Udder balm is good for that.Heavy duty hand soap?
GO-JO...Good stuff. Wal-Mart, Auto Zone, or any auto stores.
if you are looking for hand cleaner, i'd get the one that has the pumice (sand like stuff), as it seems to help some. fast orange (as mentioned), i think gojo has it.

lava soap works good also..
try using a product called ';FastOrange'; we used that in a garage I used to work at and it did a great job. you can buy it at most automotive suppliers
Swarfega -l think that's how you spell it ?-- ironmongers or hardware shop should sell it.

It would be next to impossible to extract MIT out of soap. If you are allergic to this preservative which is used in many soap, foods and cosmetic products, then try using naturally made soaps with organic ingredients like these:

Hand soap as facwash?

2010-04-25T18:57:00.002-07:00

I washed my face with a bar of soap and it got really dry. Are we not supposed to use it was facewash?Hand soap as facwash?
oh god no!

Why do you think that the skin care market is a million dollar industry!

Skin care products are very inexpensive. go pay $4 for something that belongs on your face sweetheart.Hand soap as facwash?
Most bar soap is too harsh for the face and will dry it out. If you strip your face of too much of its natural oils, it can end up overproducing oil to compensate and then you get breakouts. This happened when I used a facewash which dried my skin out too much. Try find a facewash which is less harsh on your face.
Youre not not supposed to, but its not recommended, because its drying, which you've figured out already. Most face washes are made specifically to not over dry your skin, but bar soaps main goal is simply to clean/disinfect
NO NO NO!!!!! Hand soap totally dries up your skin! Use products specifically meant for your face! If your in a hurry, get cleansing pads like clearasil or stridex.
No No No! Never. Use a specific face wash like Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser.
ahhh no.

it makes your face dry out. and then it would start peeling and it gets gross haha
notttt meant for face.

unless your skin doesnt dry out.

but still.

get face soap its a lot gentler

Hi

The best brand of hand soap is Tone especially if you are like me and wash your hands a lot. Tone as a lather and it also smells good and it doesn't make your hands dry.
hum- well they all sell pretty good- I'd say dial or dove sells the best out of most in the average store (i work in health and beauty) but be sure to choose which one is best for you- and one your not allergic to! Course alot of people have been buying a brand name called method- its quite popular!
the cheapest one I can find they all clean so who cares.

good question lol and a reli good answer!!

tokio-hotel-lover Report Abuse

As a matter of fact, expired soap can do you a lot of harm. You could get rashes and serious skin diseases. It's just like with expired face cream.

Soap has an expiration date on it because its compounds become altered in time (the oils and such) and in some cases become harmful for the skin.
This is what happens when wackos get ahold of our congress and pass stupid laws.
no, pretty much everything has an expiration date, but hand soap will definitely not harm you if used after expiration date, it's just something that manufacturers have to do...no worries
i think on all products they have to put an exp date, but nothing would happen if u use it after, its just a rule i guess but stuff like food and medication u should take note off!!! dont play with that

hell, even water has it
Most of them have it because they say that they are antibacterial soaps. However, the only way to truely kill the bacteria on your hands and such is with the friction you promote when rubbing them together. the soap is a help in removing dirt.
i'm not sure but it could be that soap is a mixture and not compound, meaning that over time the different molecules will seperate from each other. i highly doubt soap would become dangerous; it just may not do its job as well
it's just because the law says that almost everything got an expiration date.

honey, which is always good, got also an experiation date...

i would help paint houses and always had paint or primer on my hands the best thing i found to use was fingernail polish remover with acetone any brand will do
Sweat and body oil is probably the best skin clean of all I always put a washing up glove or latex glove on and put my hand in warm to hot water to get the sweat and oils flowing and leave it for 5 to 10 mins and then take the glove off and then it just peel off you skin like it was never there.
Rubbing alcohol should do it, but it will take some time.

In between washing with rubbing alcohol, wash with soap and water as well

What are the scope and limitations of liquid hand soap ?

2010-04-25T18:55:00.001-07:00

home made liquid hand soapWhat are the scope and limitations of liquid hand soap ?
Hand soap is made up of a long chain fatty acid and a cation. It is a substance which as a polar end (the cation) and a non polar ';tail'; (the fatty acid). This enables soap to work on polar (charged) dirt as well as non polar greases. The soap bubbles capture the dirt and rinse water washes it away.

Soap cannot do very much with protein based dirt, such as dried blood or similar stains. That needs an enzyme based detergent to clean the item.

Why do foaming hand soaps always squirt out foam?

2010-04-25T18:55:00.000-07:00

I filled a hand soap thing with water by foam came out how?Why do foaming hand soaps always squirt out foam?
The dispenser is specially made to turn the soap into a foam as it makes the soap go much further and so a higher concentration of the liquid can be used and not wasted. This makes the size of the soap dispenser smaller and so it looks better on the wall, yet can do the job of a much larger unitWhy do foaming hand soaps always squirt out foam?
Ive always woundered the same thing!

I think its in the pump handle...

yea for sure:)
they make the pump special to turrn liquids into foam. if you open the foam container, you will see the soap is liqiud. if they leave it as foam it will or either run out too quickly or collapse and be worthless
magicc=]
Just want to welcome you to Y/A and the Alternative Section. I see this is your very first day. Hope you visit here often.

I got my son a shaving cream warmer in the after Christmas sales.. I don't know if it's broken..or what..but the foam keeps squirting out ..even when it's not being used. (I just thought of this because you mentioned foam.) I'm not a scientist..I just ';wonder'; about things a lot like you!! lol I guess it's from the air that's inside the container.
What did you expect them to squirt out? Fire?

The reason your water turned to foam is there was probably still soap in there.
it forces it through tiny holes on its way out.
This is part of the 'pre-foaming' in built action they have. This saves you having to mix the soap with water and make the foam yourself. The foam is supposed to create the feeling of luxuriousness.

So go ahead - feel luxurious for a while with your trusty soap dispenser.

Poll: Why does hand soap always say that they kill 99.9% of bacteria but never 100%?

2010-04-25T18:53:00.001-07:00

I've always wondered about that. :/Poll: Why does hand soap always say that they kill 99.9% of bacteria but never 100%?
aha but i have a solution put some extra soap to add more chance of removing that 1%Poll: Why does hand soap always say that they kill 99.9% of bacteria but never 100%?
If they said 100% and someone still got sick, they would get sued. Stheyey say 99.9 percentso there's's that 0.01 percent of getting sick. Report Abuse

Because declaring that the soap kills 100% of all bacteria would be a false statement which could lead to lawsuits. Some bacteria cannot be killed by the mild chemicals that are in hand soap. Hence why bacteria can outlive a nuclear blast.
cus if you used it and then stuck your hand under a microscope, you would find bacteria and so they say 99% as a disclaimer so its not false advertising....

I agree, its dumb
because nothing is perfect.

it'll never be 100%.

please, not all anti-bacterial soaps are entirely anti-bacterial.

how about putting dusts inside the bottle of hand soap?
because they cant guarantee 100% of the bacteria will be killed
very few things can kill 100% of all bacteria. Thats why people are dying with MRSA.
downplaying expectation
thats just the way it works

if you want that 1% killed add bleach to your soap
Because it doesn't kill all of it.
because they can't be sure it'll kill every single germ.
idk, because that one percent will not be killed....who knows?

Melt down the soap.

Dry and grind the apples into a powder.

Add the powder to the soap mix.

Pour the soap into trendy molds.

Write and release a ';scientific'; study claiming apple soap cures cancer and allows you to live till you're 185 years old with perfect skin.

i just hate apples... i'd give them all away
Wash all my apples then throw them away.
Do the happy dance. That stuff is expensive, when you eat an apple a day.
I would share them with the people less fortunate. Like give the apples to them so they wouldn't starve and give them soap to wash their hands with.
Feed people with the apples and give people hand soap to stay clean! :-)
eat a lot of apple and take a shower and wash my hands?
well the apples would move my bowels making me have to go poop more often so i would eat the apples and then use the soap to wash my hands, wow-zers W M, that would take forever to eat all them apples.
I would bake an apple pie and wash my hands OCD style.....I'd need some lotion though, my hands get pretty dry.....
i would ask where to get them
be very careful. i might accidently eat hand soap! lolz
keep clean and make lots of pies
sell it and earn money

Eat, and take a bath at the same time !

huh?
Eat the apples and wash my hands frequently I guess.
Share both with Friends,Family and the needy people.
I'd lube up the apples with the hand soap and fill up a room with them and jump in. It would be like rolling around in giant ball bearings! I don't know why that sounds fun but it does.
Blow up a few of each with some firecrackers, make some pies, fill a pool with handsoap, put on some really good sealing goggles, and have some fun swimming in soap. Good exercise.

lemon juice, rub it well in, then rinse in cold water, not warm.How do i remove the smell of gahlic from my hands soap doesnt work?
I was going to say stainless steel but others have beat me to it is the only thing that has ever worked for me the others have just added a smell onto a smell. I have used taps when they are stainless steel or any utensil to hand, you can buy stainless steel soaps but unless everything in your house is plastic I wouldn't bother.
Rub fresh lemon all over your hands like you are washing them and rinse well.
Slightly damped hands with water. Pour salt into your hands and rub together. Kosher salt is best. Works perfect for garlic and onions.
Hold something stainless steel (I usually use a spoon) and run warm water, now wash the spoon. Make sure its stainless steel. It removes the smell every time. Try it! I swear!
some fresh lemon juice and a little warm water should do it :)

--------OR--------

some milk.

either of those, just rub them onto your hands. never use cologne/perfume. it'll only make things worse.
there's a special kind of metal stone that works,but i don't know where to get it from.maybe kitchen /cookware shops.but i definitely know that if you chew parsley after eating garlic ,you will get rid of the taste.
lemon juice
stainless steel. I know it sounds retarded but it works. rub a ';real'; stainless still spoon between your hands. if you don't have stainless steel, you can also try baking soda or salt. this is one of those old ';granny'; remedies.
rub with parsley or lemon juice
To remove the garlic smell from your hands, simply rub your hands with a stainless steel spoon or other stainless steel utensil.

Don't have stainless steel utensils on hand? A little salt or baking soda rubbed on the hands should do the trick, also
Rub your wet fingers over the not sharp side of a stainless steel knife or utensil until the odor is gone. It must be stainless steel. I don't know why but it works. Just don't cut yourself.
rub your hands on a metal/aluminum surface like your sink it really works! i heard it from a chef
Rub them on any metal surface, just wipe them on the taps, try it,
Try rubbing your hands with a little cooking oil before handling the garlic.
i spray perfume on my hands if i get garlic or onion on my hands but most of the time i rub a bit of veg/olive oil on before chopping

White Dove...

Its good.What brand of hand soap do you suggest for others?
If you live in the US (or in Canada this fall), check out Bath and Body Works. They have the most amazing soaps that I have ever tried... they clean extremely well, have anti-bacterial properties, moisturize without making your hands greasy, and smell absolutely divine. Also, a little bit goes a long way, so a bottle lasts for quite a while.

I received a bottle from a friend a month ago and I am hooked. I live in Canada, so we don't have it available yet (This fall they are supposed to be opening some stores in Canada). I'm almost contemplating a trip to the US just to get more... that's how good it is.

Why is hand-made soap better for you then soap you buy?

2010-04-25T18:51:00.001-07:00

who says it is better for you? there are plenty of kinds of soaps available that are made with the purest ingredients. you just have to find the right store. many chemicals are used in bath products, some for the smell and others for disinfecting and cleaning purposes. stay away from soaps with indredients that have really long names. if you make soap at home than it will be much cheaper than a special kind you find at the store.Why is hand-made soap better for you then soap you buy?
dont have all the chemical junk in itWhy is hand-made soap better for you then soap you buy?
hand made soaps have less fake stuff(chemicals) than store stuff.
It has natural ingredients, if it's the real thing, not harsh chemicals.
soap you buy at the store has chemicals in them that can over time harm your skin, thats why if you do buy soap you should switch brands often
What evidence do you have to back up your statement?
Who said that?

Hand-made soap is basically pot ash (Lye!) and pig fat!

Now if you can rub lye and pig fat on your bod, and call that good, well more power to you.

It does have advantages. It's a great mosquito, flea, tick, and insect repellent. Along with getting you clean!

Basically after that you start adding chemicals to make it foam, lather, smell, etc. and you have modern day store bought soap. If you can't find ';lye soap,'; then try Octagon soap. It's about the same.

Another factor you might remember, a lot of other home-made soaps are just mixtures of chemicals done at home. Really!

Are hand sanitizers really as good as washing with soap and water?

2010-04-25T18:51:00.000-07:00

No! ';Antibacterial hand sanitizers are marketed to the public as an effective way to ';wash one's hands'; when traditional soap and water are not available. These ';waterless'; products are particularly popular with parents of small children. Manufacturers of hand sanitizers claim that the sanitizers kill 99.9 percent of germs. Since you naturally use hand sanitizers to cleanse your hands, the assumption is that 99.9 percent of harmful germs are killed by the sanitizers. Recent research suggests that this is not the case.

How do hand sanitizers work?

Hand sanitizers work by stripping away the outer layer of oil on the skin. This usually prevents bacteria present in the body from coming to the surface of the hand. However, these bacteria that are normally present in the body are generally not the kinds of bacteria that will make us sick. In a review of the research, Barbara Almanza, an associate professor at Purdue University who teaches safe sanitation practices to workers, came to an interesting conclusion. She notes that the research shows that hand sanitizers do not significantly reduce the number of bacteria on the hand and in some cases may potentially increase the amount of bacteria on the hand. So the question arises, how can the manufacturers make the 99.9 percent claim?

How can the manufacturers make the 99.9 percent claim?

The manufacturers of the products test the products on inanimate surfaces hence they are able to derive the claims of 99.9 percent of bacteria killed. If the products were fully tested on hands, there would no doubt be different results. Since there is inherent complexity in the human hand, testing hands would definitely be more difficult. Using surfaces with controlled variables is an easier way to obtain some type of consistency in the results. But as we are all aware, everyday life is not as consistent.

Current recommendations for hand sanitation

Interestingly enough, the Food and Drug Administration, in regards to regulations concerning proper procedures for food services, recommends that hand sanitizers not be used in place of soap and water but only as an adjunct.

Likewise, Almanza recommends that to properly sanitize the hands, soap and water should be used. A hand sanitizer can not and should not take the place of proper cleansing procedures with soap and water.';Are hand sanitizers really as good as washing with soap and water?
hand sanitizer kills the infectious dose, just like soap and water. infectious dose=amount of germs it take to make one sick.Are hand sanitizers really as good as washing with soap and water?
the best way to make sure your hands are clean is to wash and then sanitize.
Best known substitute

nothing beats

nice hot waterhand wash

hmmmm
As long as you thoroughly and vigorously rub your hands together for at least 30 seconds you should be fine.
No they aren't, but the next best thing to it. The sanitizers should have alot of alcohol in them to work best.

I recently read this in the newspaper.
I heard on dateline NBC that they will actually do more harm than good in the long run because the bacteria will develop an immunity to the santizer. It's actually better for our society to use regular soap and water. BUT if you need something quick and there isn't that available, use the hand sanitizer.

i think so.
they are good for when you are 'on the go'..
I believe just good old soap and water is better. Just make sure you wash for at least a good minute. In a pinch I would use the sanitizers. The trouble with sanitizers are that they dry your skin and using them to often makes the germs stronger to fight them off
I have been hearing things that suggest that the sanitizers are used so much that the bacterias and viruses that they were meant to kill are now mutating and becoming immune to the sanitizers. Soap and water still seems to be the best bet!
I've heard experts say that hand sanitizers work as well as hand washing but they should not be used in place of it. Hand sanitizers are best used for times when soap and water are not available.

Cornish Inventor William Pears of Mevagissey invented refined, scented hand soap
try researching it....its possible, tho
He didn't INVENT hand soap, but he no doubt found a way to make it using peanut oil. Yes, he's the scientist that found 300 USES for the peanut. I'm sure he's in Wikipedia. Do a websearch.
george washington carver invented the radio, alternative electrical current, the automobile and many other inventions with his friend nicholas tesla. but he give everything for free for benefit of everyone and cia stole his invention book and made warfare use of carvers peaceful inventions. the authorities oppress many of his inventions like free energy from the radiation of the moon because capitalist cant make money from that. carver was good friend with nicholas tesla and they shared electricity problems and tesla trusted his inventions in carvers book to so we also lost those. it is rumored that carver invented forever potion and is still alive and preaching but this is unconfirmed and most people that have seen him say he is no longer sane but crazy.

That is WAY too harsh for your skin. You'll just strip the oils off, making your body produce more. Go gentle, but something formulated for oily skin. My fiance likes the Clinique three step system for men. It's a little pricey, but it works! Good luck!Have you tried to get rid of acne w/ washing ur face w/ antibactieral hand soap?
The skin on your face is much more delicate than the skin on your hands, so it's best to use a product specially designed for facial skin.

When washing dishes by hand is there any health risks when you don't rinse them after the soap wash.?

2010-04-25T18:49:00.002-07:00

In other words, can the soap scum be harmful?When washing dishes by hand is there any health risks when you don't rinse them after the soap wash.?
Yes, by not rinsing thoroughly, your leaving bacteria and the soap behind which are causes of diarrhea and vomiting at the best. Why would you leave this behind? If your not sure after you rinse with the hot water and get all the food off the dishes then give them a final rinse with cool water. It breaks the soap down better than hot or warm. I know it sounds weird, but it's true. I hope this hint will help you.When washing dishes by hand is there any health risks when you don't rinse them after the soap wash.?
In that small of an amount, soap isn't poisonous, but it tastes nasty. It could make whatever you eat/drink from the dish next time have a bad flavor. It could also make you foam at the mouth, lol. (not really!)
no - soap is what eliminates the bacteria / germs from the dishes. Soap dosn't contain anything harmful.

Hand sanitizer will kill the germs on your hands but it will not wash away and dirt or dead bacteria on your hands. This is where washing with soap and water can actually get your hands much cleaner.Does hand sanitizer cleanse as well as soap and water?
You can use hand sanitizer to clean your hands, but soap and water is better for a good clean. I'm a Certified Nursing assistant and we were always taught that it was ok to use hand sanitizer twice but after that we needed to wash our hands with soap and water.

Triclosan,Active ingredient in anti-bacterial hand soap.Anyone know what this is?

2010-04-25T18:49:00.000-07:00

It's a chemical that is antibacterial and antifungal. Here's some info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TriclosanTriclosan,Active ingredient in anti-bacterial hand soap.Anyone know what this is?
Save your money. All soaps are antimicrobial.Triclosan,Active ingredient in anti-bacterial hand soap.Anyone know what this is?
Triclosan is an anti-microbial agent used in cosmetic and dermatological preparations for several decades. It has not been used as a systemic antibacterial agent due to problems with drug administration. Research is being done and striking efficacy of triclosan in a mouse models of acute systemic bacterial infection have been reported. Triclosan not only significantly extends the survival time of the sick, infected mice, it also restores blood parameters and checks liver damage induced by the bacterial infection. The safety track record of triclosan in topical solutions is purpoted o be excellent, but the news is not all in and I still have my doubts about this one. If used systemically we may have significant protien / enzyme issues.
some say its overuse is part of the new probelm with drug resistant microbes..its used in plastic trays and other surface items also....

Skin irritants in hand soap?

I've noticed that after I use certain kinds of liquid soaps (including hand soap and car-washing soap) that my hands (especially my fingers) start to itch, burn and swell. It's only certain kinds of soaps, but I'm not sure of the ingredients in any of them. Does anyone have any experience with this ingredient, or what soaps to avoid? I know that ';Method'; brand soaps don't hurt my hands when I use them, and ';Ice'; car soap doesn't either. Skin irritants in hand soap?

Is it ok to wash my mtn bike disc brakes with hand soap?

2010-04-25T18:47:00.001-07:00

NONONO... use rubbing alcohol... works best. You don't want any oil or grease on the rotors or pads.

wipe the rotors, take out the pads, and wet them with alcohol, and rub them on sandpaper.

After cleaning disc brakes, they will be like new and need to be worked in again, so expect it.

there is a product for this called ';disc doctor';, don't waste your money - its just aerosol rubbing alcoholIs it ok to wash my mtn bike disc brakes with hand soap?
i wash my bike with dish liquid or car soap and its always fine.Is it ok to wash my mtn bike disc brakes with hand soap?
Most manufacturers recommend Dawn dishwashing soap because it cleans well, and doesn't leave a residue. Some hand soaps have moisturizers in them, and that would leave oil on your rotors, which is bad. I've seen people use rubbing alcohol, but it also leaves a slight oil residue, so I don't suggest it. Using Dawn you'll probably have to wash/rinse several times to really get 'em clean. You'll know you're there when they start to feel ';squeaky'; clean (it even kinda makes a squeaky sound, assuming you're using your fingers to rub the soap around). If you've gotten any oil on your rotors, this will remove it. However, if the oil has also contaminated your pads there is no way to remove it. You'll just have to replace the pads. Cleaning the rotors is good periodic maintenance, and is an especially good idea any time you replace pads.

CETAPHIL AND AVEENO ARE GREAT LIKE THE OTHERS SAID,BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.TRY IVORY.IT IS DYE FREE AND IT WILL BE FINE FOR HIS SKIN!:)Can someone recommend a good hand soap for my 5 yr old son with eczema...thanks?
Cetaphil is the best bar soap for dry skin. If you are looking for a liquid, Aveeno Baby has soaps and lotions that I think work better for kids.
when I had eczema when I was younger the specialist said to use Dove or Ivory only.

My neighbor has a baby with awful horrid eczema all over his body. She saw a specialist and he said that for her baby she can only use the Sunlight sensitive skin laundry degerent.
ANY SOAP THAT'S FREE FROM DYES/PERFUMES.
dove is a sensitive type of soap and it is kind to skin
OATMEAL SOAP FROM AVEENO...
Hii... Im 14. I have severe ezcema and i have been using this excellent remedy called Repcillin. You definetly have to give it a go. Its really good. It comes in creams and soaps to. It may be a little over-priced for what it is but trust me...It is definetley worth the money. I will give you a website directing you to where you order it. :)

Hope this helps...It worked for me and after 14 years of having ezcema i finally saw the slightest improvement in under a week!. :)

( i have the cream and soap)
I wasn't so much going to suggest a soap...as to tell you to follow up with vanicream after he washes. I have psoriasis...and need all the moisture I can get!!!
My son also has eczema and at first i was using alveno but after awhile it stop working so my doctor gave me a prescription and some cream and it works great u just have to use it everyday and you can put it all over him, but yea get it from your doc

Good Luck :)
Cetaphil.
Nothing with any perfumes or dyes. I use either Ivory or unscented Dove. Both are very mild and inexpensive. Aveeno is nice, but you'd be paying a lot more for nothing special. I had severe eczema and now my 3 year old has it. We both use Dove or Ivory for soap and Eucerin cream after every bath/shower.
yea, cetaphil is great or aveeno.
Softsoap moisturizing hand soap.
Aveeno is great. My son also has severe eczema and is five. We just bought him some Johnson's Vanilla Oatmeal baby wash and he is doing good with it.
Cetaphil also is copied by Walgreen's as Skin Cleanser in the same section.

Suggestions:

A. Bathe less frequent, if spreads beyond hands.

B. Use moisturizer. Perhaps, Suave Skin Therapy Aloe with Cucumber. Don't worry about the name.Can get at Target or anywhere.

C. A generic by Rx: Fluocinonide. Cream is preferable. I have used since 1956, yet all of the above has pretty much negated need for C. Absolutely,the only lifesaver when needed. Has been fully contained since first use---immediately. Use moderately %26amp; sparingly, only as needed.

Good Luck.

Antibacterial or regular hand soap?

2010-04-25T18:45:00.002-07:00

Do you prefer antibacterial hand soap or regular (not antibacterial) hand soap. I'm just wondering because I'm tired of going to Costco and they only seem to carry the antibacterial stuff now. I prefer the regular.Antibacterial or regular hand soap?
Regular.

The overuse of antibacterial products is contributing to our ability to get sick more easily. Our bodies' immune systems like a good workout. They recognize an invading bacteria, learn to counter it while you feel less than swell, and forever after, when that bacteria or one something like it arrives, it doesn't stand a chance.

Those who live in the antibacterial world, where every counter, toilet, doorknob, and desk is treated with antibacterial products, do not let their bodies learn how to fight nearly as many bacteria. When an unfamiliar one comes along, they're more likely to get sick, and for their illnesses to be worse and last longer.

If your immune system is compromised, or if you care for infants or the frail elderly, antibacterials make sense. For the rest of us, not so much. Plain soap is just fine.Antibacterial or regular hand soap?
regular is better, you don't want those suckers building up immunity against the antibacterial stuff, then they will be invincible! and then what kind of soap are we going to use to kill them? bleach?
regular, washing your hands rids them of excess bacteria anyway
antibacterial is much healther and safer.

DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just because it says hand soap or whatever, you can use it on ANY part of your body!!!!! But just for you let me clarify that you shouldn't use it on your eyes or in your mouth : )Can you use hand soap on your face?
not good. all soaps, like bar soaps or for hands dry your face up, not good at all, my family and i stoped using soap since we were young on our face. noxema is good
I use it all the time it leaves my face softer when I use the hand wash because wash for hands is gentler on ur skin than face cleaner
Hand soap is harsh for facial skin.
Like every other answer you got i would not recommend it, it really dries out your skin
i don tink so
yes dove is fine

any other hand soap would dry your skin.

dove is good for your whole body.
I have for all my life never had acne
you probably shouldnt. but idk dove

is gentle so it might be okay. but still

its better to use a cleanser.
uhhm why dont you just get the same one but for your face.. it does come in it!
Yes, a lot of people use regular hand soap on their faces. Dove is an especially good one for that dual purpose washing. I wouldn't use anything too harsh because your face skin is gentler and more sensitive than your hands. There are lots of soaps specifically designed to be gentler on faces, but Dove is fine for both.
i perfer you not to

it really gets pain on your face

why do you think its called hand soap?

and body soap?

its for a reason

it likes the salty taste of your skin. prevent this by keeping your hands away from its face.

Which is more effective against bacteria, hand sanitizers or soap?

2010-04-25T18:44:00.001-07:00

can someone please help me answer this its for a homework assignment...And can you list your source.Thank You...Which is more effective against bacteria, hand sanitizers or soap?
Did a handwashing experiment in Microbiology doing plates of before and after handwashing with both soap %26amp; water and hand sanitizer. The soap %26amp; water plate significantly decreased the number of colonies, including spores, and left only the normal, healthy bacteria that you are supposed to have.

The hand sanitizer killed the normal healthy bacteria but afterwards there were nasty spores and yeasty-looking things that took over because the natural bacteria weren't there to fight them.

The soap is better, and just the running water itself helps to dislodge things that shouldn't be there.Which is more effective against bacteria, hand sanitizers or soap?
Soap and water and use it often.Source? Common sense.Hand sanitizers have to be produced and go thru several process before being bottled.Each step would have to be clean for you to get bacteria free cleanser and I pretty much doubt that it would be.They have their purpose but for real cleaning soap and water every time.
Soap and water for sure. This involves a mechanical removal of bacteria.

Hand sanitisers rely on alcohol killing the bacteria. This works for many, but not for Clostridium difficile, the latest superbug causing much trouble in British hospitals.
Hand sanitizers. That's why they use them in hospitals . . .

How do you make liquid hand soap?

.How do you make liquid hand soap?
In a pot, bring about 3 cups of water to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil, shave the bar of soap into fragments, or break up the already small pieces of left over soap. The smaller the fragments, the quicker they will dissolve in the boiling water.

Stir the soap into the boiling water until the soap completely dissolves. Once the mixture is cool, pour it into your old soap dispenser. You will note the mixture is not as thick as store-bought soap (if consistency is an issue for you, use less water and more soap). However, you鈥檒l find the watery hand soap mixture works exceedingly well in creating a lather and cleaning your hands.

Here鈥檚 where the advertising and marketing exercise from above comes into play. The advertisers will have us believe that the thick gel type liquid hand soap is necessary to get our hands clean. Oh contraire!

If you prefer to have a different scent, experiment with essential oils. Only a drop or two is necessary.

This is a basic no fluff recipe for homemade liquid hand soap. It will clean your hands thoroughly. After all, that鈥檚 what you want the soap to do, isn鈥檛 it?How do you make liquid hand soap?
you grate soap, add water and cook it in an old pot.

you're not supposed to bathe cats %26gt;.%26lt;

it messes up the oil coating on their fur. if you bathe a cat with soap, they're bound to ingest itI bathed my cat with like hand soap and its winter and now hes not doin well?
thank u all ummm i didnt take him 2 the vet i just watched him closley and he is back 2 normal ummm (best answer) yoou were right he did injestt the soap and water thanks alot you all help a bunch :) Report Abuse

Do not ever ever bathe cats in the winter and only in the summer about once. They don't need it unless they are ill. If they are ill a wet sponge and dry towel are all that is needed. Cats do not need baths. You can spay or powder them for fleas or give them a pill but not baths.
You have to take him to a vets immediately. not sure where you are but if its out of hours, then call the vets and get an emergency appointment, i don't want to scare you but leaving him unattended in this condition could lead to him dying.

In the meantime, wrap him up in a towel and keep him warm, hold him close and let him know that your there.

but please dont hang about anymore take him to a vet immediately.

And no more baths unless he gets himself into a terrible terrible mess as they are very clean animals and will keep themselves perfectly clean. and if you do wash him, you have to throughly dry him out afterward and use a specialist cat soap.

please let us know how you get on.
Take your cat to the vet.

You should never bathe a cat. They are clean animals and take care of their own cleanliness. If you did not rinse every bit of soap from your cat, he may be sick from licking the soap remnants off.

Anyway.Take your cat to the Vet as soon as possible !!!
He may have water in his lungs and irritation from the soap. Take him to the vet to get this checked. Cats do not need to be bathed. Only when covered with grease or oil or a harmful substance will you bathe a cat. Never use hand soap, only cat shampoos.
Take your cat to the vet. And don't use things to wash your cat that weren't meant for washing cats.

Your cat may have swallowed a lot of water. Sounds like you should lay off the baths. Keep your cat inside...and cats bathe themselves.
(FIRST LEARN TO WRITE IN ENGLISH)

You most likely did not rince the soap out.

';siting up water'; ? don't know what that means.

give the cat some yogert which is good for the intestines and digestion.
You should NEVER do that if your not going to dry him TOTALLY off.

Thats probably the cause.

Hold him and keep him warm and if he vomits just let him and make sure he's eating.
Take your cat to the Vet ASAP!. Cats lick themselves and can be having an allergic reaction that could be fatal.
keep him warm and take him to a doctor as soon as possible

I just bought a hand mitt for exfoliating skin. Do I just use it with bar soap on my face?

2010-01-08T05:37:00.002-08:00

you canI just bought a hand mitt for exfoliating skin. Do I just use it with bar soap on my face?
noo! You should never use bar soap on your face, the skin on the face is very delicate! You should use the mitt on your body only, I use mine on my legs mostly. To exfoliate your face, you're going to need to buy an exfoliating wash. Bar soap is harsh for the face!

good luck! =]I just bought a hand mitt for exfoliating skin. Do I just use it with bar soap on my face?
I wouldn't use a hand mitt on your face. It could be too rough and irritate your skin. Use it with soap for your body. You should use an facial exfoliating scrub on your face/neck.
Or with propper exfoliating lotion also which you can buy in any chemist.
I'm not expert but that sounds like it would severely dry out the skin on your face leading to more breakouts and blemishes. Try a facial cleanser with moisturizers. The mitt you bought will be useful for the rest of your body though so don't feel like you wasted your money!

You should wash your face daily, follow the instructions on the exfoliation product as far as frequency of use goes. Some are probably gentle enough to use daily.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO鈥?br>

NO.

do not use bar soap on your face, especially if you just bought a glove (thihs indicates you need the darn gllove, which inturn means poorskin) the worst thing you can do when u have bad skin is use bar soap, get vichy green goop face cleanser, shoppers drug mart or any drug store like that would carry it. its ot a scrub which i think is good since u dont need a scrubing bead incorperated cleanser(u got the glove, and thats enough facial ruff n tuff) lol hope that helps dude
i would use a face cleaner, bar soap is too rough on skin, you can exfoliate as often as you want too
It's best to use it with an exfoliating scrub. Basically, anything that has little bits of things mixed in with it that will rub off dead skin. If you have dry skin, exfoliate once every 4-5 days. If you have oily skin, as much as twice a week.
No, use exfoliating lotion
use facial cleaner

or face wash

no bar soap on your face face soap only

I need to open a hand soap factory?

2010-01-08T05:37:00.001-08:00

i have no experianceI need to open a hand soap factory?
Can't you just purchase some soap?

Seriously, if you have no knowlege in any type business, stay away.

Work for someone else in the chosen field and after a year or two, start your own. Have pleny of working capital.I need to open a hand soap factory?
Working in the chosen field for a few years will expose you to other workers and conversation. You want to learn the technique for making the produce. I assume you have management skills already. Beleive me it works. Report Abuse

Buy new soap. Or mix more of another soap in there to thicken it up.I had some liquid hand soap that was to thick, so i added water and that made it too thin what do i do now?
bubblebath
Go back to the Dollar Store and buy a new bottle.
it's okay. leaving it runny and soppy is good because it's fresher to handle. just leave it.
add cornstarch to the soap. It will thicken it up. You can do this for hair color and lotion as well.

I hand wash my drinking glasses and they seem to have a soapy residue left on them from my dish soap?

2010-01-08T05:36:00.003-08:00

How do I get this residue off? (I'm using Method dish soap.) Is there a dish soap that won't cause this residue?I hand wash my drinking glasses and they seem to have a soapy residue left on them from my dish soap?
I use Dawn also, its a De-Greaser. But if that doesn't work on your glasses, and it doesn't work on all of mine either. You can use vinegar. I know it sounds gross, but after you wash the glass, just dunk it in a 2 part vinegar 1 part water mixture. The residue should come right off. If that doesn't work then you probably have hard water, and as much as you rinse it still wont get rid of the soap because of your hard water problem. -Good Luck-I hand wash my drinking glasses and they seem to have a soapy residue left on them from my dish soap?
I use Dawn with no residue noticed
I would go and get some Dawn dish soap. Some times trying different dish soaps isn't all that grate. Dawn cuts any grease.
YES (DAWN)

Only if your hands are part of your body.Can u use body wash as hand soap?
duh i mean think about it you unconsciously wash your hands when u take a shower u kno....
yes, but that's defeating the purpose.
Actually, yes you can use it as a normal hand soap, just be careful not to use a whole lot. but yes it should be just fine to do that, ive dont it before and it has the same effect as regular soap would.
yes as there is no arm in it ha ha
if your hands are part of your body of course you can..but if there not then your in trouble
whyever not?
if you want, go ahead.
yeah!! its BODY WASH so yeah of course you could and a bonus would be your hands get to smell great.:)
Yah nobody well notice the difference as long as it's in a different bottle
Yes, by all means, you can.
Sure. Why not? It all does the same thing...clean.
yes, if you like the smell, it will be like aroma therapy, every time your hands are near your face.
it basically is soap- just designed for more sensitive parts of your body, not just your hands. so yeah it would be fine =)
Of course !!! lol
Hands are part of your body, I don't see why not : )

Soap is soap!
PLEASE!! Do not listen to the other answers! Clearly they're out to get you. If you use body wash on your hands your palms will become hairy and purple. Jesus will stop loving you and the terrorists win. For the love of god... DON'T DO IT!!!
I like this question because it's so dammed innocent. YES!
Yes; although you may not want your hands to smell as good, just clean, because your nose knows the difference.
Sure why not?

Can I use hand soap as body wash? And as shampoo?

2010-01-08T05:36:00.001-08:00

Can I wash my body with hand soap? Is it all the same? Can I wash my hair with hand soap, or body wash? And can I wash my face with hand soap or body wash? Will I be ruining my skin??Can I use hand soap as body wash? And as shampoo?
You can wash any part of you with hand soap.

All soap cleans just specific things for example shampoo, have other ingredients in it to do things to your hair like give body and de-frizz.

Any cleaning product you use on your body can be used elsewhere and won't damage your skin or hair.

Using soap as shampoo will probably dry your hair out but there really isn't any harm in using it, your hair won't fall out because its dry.

As for using body wash for your hair, I have done this many times before and there hasn't been a problem, only that it dries out your hair same as soap.

ADD: I use hand soap to wash my face and I find that it helps clear spots.Can I use hand soap as body wash? And as shampoo?
never to that to your face or hair you need a special shampoo /body wash.

a hand wash only washes away dirty/ germs. you need a hair shampoo to wash away dirty %26amp;grime but at same time nourish you hair with

vitamins and hair shampoo does that to your hair so that's why you need

a hair specially for your hair.also you really need a body wash it also has

vitamins %26amp; conditioner to soften your skin so that way you skin looks

more healthy less dry don't ever use a hand soap as a shampoo or body wash.I suggest to used dove cucumber body wash %26amp; dove shampoo for you hair. never use a hand soap as face cleanser it would

ruinig your skin making it dry flaky.
I had so many skin, scalp and hair problems (severe dry flaking skin, many pimples, breakouts, large pores and, flaking, itching scalp and even hair loss) as a result of most facial cleansers, body cleansers and shampoos that I learned have some of the most scalp, hair and skin harming chemicals - some are so toxic. So I switched to buying a pure bar or tablet soap with no additives, no colorings, no perfumes of any kind for washing skin, face and hair and immediately all my conditions started healing and now have returned to total health. Look at the countless harmful ingredients in MOST hand soaps, body washes and shampoos. You can do online searches and confirm how severely harmful and toxic they are.

Yes, you can use hand soap (or bar soap, I guess) as body wash. Lots of people do. You'll be fine. I'm not sure if you can wash your hair with hand soap. Definitely don't wash it with body wash, though. You can probably use hand soap for your face. I would avoid using body wash because excessive use could cause zits, from what I've heard.
okay, there shouldn't be a problem with washing your body with hand soap... it's the same kinda skin... but I wouldn't reccomend washing your hair with body wash or hand soap, because it will dry it out. Trust me, I've tried.
not as shampoo.....

if you get the philosopy line of products you can, but not just any regular soap.

Why are laureth sulfates used in making shampoo, soap and hand lotions?

2010-01-08T05:35:00.003-08:00

I am allergic to sulfa of ANY kind! As a consumer I have to stand there and read the ingredients on all of my bathing products.

I have to spend 75% more on the products that DON'T use it in the products.

So far I have only found 1 name brand that does Not use Sulfa and that is J.A.S.O.N.

do any of you know of any more brands that do not contain Laural sulfates?Why are laureth sulfates used in making shampoo, soap and hand lotions?
I use sulfate free shampoos and conditioners as well, because it's better for color treated hair.

I switch between: http://www.aubrey-organics.com/spec_prod鈥?/a> which works REALLY good. =)

and I absolutely love Healthy Sexy Hair chocolate soy shampoo, it smells like chocolate, but isn't overpowering. It's sulfate free, and it's one of my favorite shampoos ever. It smells SO good.

http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Sexy_Hair_He鈥?/a> ( you can also find it on amazon.com)

Also, if you need a list of hair care that is sulfate free, go here:

purology...sulfate free
Is one of the side effects repetition?
I, too, am looking for sls free products. At Whole Foods Market, they carry Burt's Bee's shampoo bars that use vegetable oil as soap instead of sls. There is also a line of shampoos and conditioners called Aubrey that are sls free. There actually are quite a few sls free shampoos at Whole Foods Market, some quite inexpensive.

SLS is used in shampoos as a lathering agent, but many feel that it is simply too drying for a person's hair, especially African American hair. The stuff is used in engine degreasers and dish-washing liquid! Whether a person's hair and scalp needs such a heavy duty cleaning agent is debatable. Some may need it, but if your hair is dry, like mine, it may be best to find other alternatives.
