Product description

Hand wash, or hand soap, is a cleaning agent used with water to physically remove dirt, germs, and other microorganisms from hands. It is a fundamental part of personal hygiene and is available in a variety of forms, including liquid, foam, and bar soap.

Key highlights

1. Removal of germs: Hand washing is the most effective method for removing germs, dirt, and chemicals from the hands. Unlike hand sanitizers, which kill germs, hand soap uses surfactants to trap and lift microorganisms and oil from the skin, which are then rinsed away by water.
2. Preventing illness: Proper hand hygiene is essential for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, including respiratory illnesses like the flu and gastrointestinal infections like salmonella and norovirus.
3. Effectiveness with water: Soap's effectiveness is tied to its use with water. The friction from scrubbing with lather helps to dislodge germs from the skin's surface
