The importance of a hand sanitiser in a germ-free environment

by Adam Hales writer

It is fairly common these days to see a woman carrying a hand sanitiser in her purse. Germs are all over the air and water, and humans tend to commonly come in touch with the same. After handling dust or coming in contact with someone’s dirty hands, it is normal to make use of hand sanitisers. Many of these sanitisers are made of alcohol and give a pungent smell when used.


In the market, you will find hand sanitisers listing the name of the chemical used. Some of these solutions also do not make use of alcohol. You are likely to find the chemical benzalkonium chloride used in good quality sanitisers. This ingredient is alcohol free and can kill more than 99% of common germs such as influenza A, E. coli and MRSA. The chemical has been present in healthcare since more than 60 years.


Just like the chemical, another factor that is fairly important in making a hand sanitiser usefulis its packaging. An ultra slim shape and size means that it can be carried around to all places. Such a shape allows it to fit easily into any pocket. So in addition to being lasting and effective, it also needs to be ultra portable.

Some precautions do need to be taken while using hand sanitisers. First of all, it needs to be kept away from the reach of small children. After using the sanitiser on hand, one must never use the hand immediately to wipe the face. This can result in a painful burning sensation, or a possible swelling of the eyes. Make sure that you flush the eyes with water in the above situation. If the condition persists for more than 72 hours, you should definitely consult a doctor.

The most common use of hand sanitisers is to protect the hands from infection. However, now there are sanitisers that can sterilise other areas as well. Such sprays are available for hotel remotes, light switches, ATMs, dining tables and other germ-prone areas. These sprays are always alcohol free.

In the age of the Internet, it is fairly simple to get in touch with the companies that manufacture hand sanitisers. The reputed firms have their own websites, through which online orders can be placed. By making the payment online, you can have the product delivered at your doorstep. However, do make sure you know a fair bit about the sanitiser before placing an order for the same.

Companies that manufacture germ repellent products also make sprays other than hand sanitisers. Breath freshener sprays, bite and burn relief sprays, hair sprays, stain removers, insect repellents and wrinkle releasers are some of the products. All of these help to keep an individual fresh and free from infection. In today’s high germ world, such products are vital to one’s existence.
