Hand Washing vs. Hand Sanitizing
What You Need to Know About Hand Washing
According to the CDC, washing your hands correctly eliminates all types of germs on your hands. This is the preferred method for keeping your hands clean and germ-free, since other sanitizer alternatives may not eliminate all the germs that washing your hands can. Hand soap can also help remove dirt and everyday chemicals your hands come into contact with.
It’s important to use a hand soap that will not only be tough on germs, but will be gentle on your hands as well. How many times have you used a hand soap that totally dried out your hands and left them cracking or flaky? Remedi Pure Foaming Hand Soap is formulated with glycerin, specifically to keep your hands clean and hydrated after each use.
