When you’re traveling, your hands are touching all sorts of surfaces – doorknobs, pens and desks, tourist attractions – everything imaginable, you’ll be using your hands on your journey. It’s important to keep your hands clean during your travels. Here are 5 ways to keep your hands clean while you’re traveling.
Hand sanitizers come in many forms, including liquids, gels, wipes, sprays, and foams. They all contain an active ingredient that kills germs on contact. Some products also include moisturizers and fragrances.
Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer
Alcohol based hand sanitizers contain alcohol, which kills germs by destroying their cell walls. This type of sanitizer is effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Alcohol based hand sanitizers are often preferred by travelers because they are quick acting and easy to use. This type of sanitizer is effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
However, alcohol based sanitizers dry out skin and leave residue behind. Waterless hand sanitizers use water as an active ingredient instead of alcohol. These products do not dry out skin and leave no residue. Instead, they kill germs with hydrogen peroxide, which breaks down into oxygen and water when exposed to air.
Antiseptic Wipes
If you prefer not to use an alcohol based hand sanitizer, there are other options available. One option is to use antiseptic wipes. These are also known as “no touch” wipes. They contain antibacterial ingredients that kill germs without leaving any residue.
When you’re traveling, you might find yourself in situations where you need to keep your hands clean. You can buy antiseptic wipes at any drug store or grocery store. They come in handy when you’re washing dishes, eating food, or using the restroom. However, there are some downsides to using these wipes. First, they can be expensive. Second, they aren’t very effective against viruses. Third, they can irritate sensitive skin. Finally, they won’t remove dirt and grime from your hands. If you’re looking for something better than wipes, consider buying a bottle of ECO Sanitizer Hand Gel.
Gel or Liquid Hand Sanitizer
Alcohol based hand sanitizers are effective at killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. However, they do leave behind a sticky residue that can make hands feel dry and uncomfortable. Antibacterial soaps are another alternative. They work by disrupting the cell walls of bacteria, preventing them from reproducing.
The other type of hand sanitizers are liquid based. These liquids contain an antibacterial agent that works by killing bacteria on contact. They also leave your hands feeling soft and moisturized.
Isopropyl Alcohol
If you’re traveling, there are several things you need to consider when choosing between alcohol based hand sanitizers and antibacterial soap. First, alcohol based products will not remove dirt or grease from your hands. Soap and water is still the best option for cleaning hands before eating. Second, alcohol based products contain chemicals that can irritate skin. Third, alcohol based products can cause drying out of the skin, unless you choose a hand sanitizer that acts as a moisturizer as well.
Soap & Water
Of course the old fashioned soap and water is a great option for keeping your hands clean, but while traveling and on the go, your best bet will be either a disinfectant spray, wipe, or a gel, as water or sinks may not always be readily available on the road!
