Using Hand Sanitizer
Good old soap, water, and scrubbing is still the best way to get germs off your hands, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Hand sanitizer is better than nothing, but compared to hand washing, it isn't as good at killing certain bugs that can make you sick, like norovirus.
The CDC says you should wash your hands whenever you can. If there's no soap and water available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
