What is hand sanitiser for?

Alcohol hand sanitiser is an antimicrobial solution which is used to kill germs and bacteria. It's commonly used in hygiene sensitive environments such as commercial kitchens and healthcare environments. However, it has become a common everyday carry for many people who are cautious about their hygiene.

We offer two hand sanitisers - a liquid solution and a gel. Both hand sanitisers contain 70% alcohol and are effective at killing bacteria and other germs from your hands.

You can also use hand sanitiser to sterilise non-sterile gloves. To use the sanitiser in this way, simply use the sanitiser as you normally would but while wearing gloves.

Why do I need alcohol hand sanitiser gel?

The environment which we interact with on a daily basis is riddled with germs, such as bacteria and dirt, which pose a threat our health. Hand rails, door handles, buttons at pedestrian crossings are touched by many people on a regular basis and can carry harmful bacteria and viruses.

Handling raw ingredients, particularly meats, can expose your hands to bacteria which you can easily contaminate other foods with.

Shared spaces such as offices are also ideal breeding grounds for bacteria. Keyboards, mice, headsets, desk surfaces and doorhandles can also carry potentially dangerous bacteria.

In most cases, harmful bacteria and viruses can be removed from the skin using soap and water. But if you don't have immediate access to soap and water, it can be difficult to clean your hands. If this is the case, hand sanitiser may be a suitable alternative.

Additionally, antibacterial hand sanitiser can be a useful product to carry around to keeps your hands hygienically fresh, whether you often shake hands with other people, provide care to someone or often expose yourself to bacteria.
