With increasing awareness of personal hygiene and dissemination of knowledge of how disease spreads, and aggresive marketing there is an increasing tendency to carry bottles of hand sanitizers for use on a regular basis,
While these are effective and good, there are limitations and one should avoid indiscriminate use especially, in children.Do remember, that hand sanitizers cannot replace proper hand-washing with soap and water.
To have adequately clean hands once they are soiled with dirt or grime, one must wash hands with a soft, gentle soap for at least 20 seconds under running water. There is no need to get antibacterial soaps for routine hand washing. The estimated time is the time taken to sing “Happy Birthday” twice or “Saare Jahan Se Accha” once). Children can either wash their hands themselves or the caregivers can help them wash their hands.
Wash hands before preparing and eating food, before giving medication, and after using the restroom, coughing or sneezing and any time that the hands have become soiled.
