Which is better for washing hands: hand sanitizer or soap?

Soap is better than hand sanitizer. Compared with soap, hand sanitizer has milder ingredients, but its cleaning effect is slightly less than that of soap. Removing dirt and sterilizing are the main purposes of hand washing, and hand sanitizer can only satisfy its sterilization effect. Soap is not as effective as soap in cleaning some dirt in the nail crevices and small crevices of the skin, such as dust and blood stains. Because most hand sanitizers contain alcohol, alcohol cannot effectively remove some dirt attached to the tiny gaps in the skin, such as dust, dirt, blood stains, etc., but the pH value of hand sanitizer is moderate, and it is not alkaline like soap that will harm the skin. It also contains antibacterial, disinfectant ingredients and active agents, making it suitable for almost everyone's skin. Therefore, once your hands are contaminated with such dirt, it is not enough to just use hand sanitizer.
