What are the Advantages of Foaming Hand Sanitizer?

One of the biggest advantages of foaming sanitizers are that the product does seem to cling to the hands better than the traditional gel.  Most facility managers comment that the product is not nearly as messy either!  While it comes down to a personal preference, we have seen a great response to the 2XL product offering that we currently stock.  With around 1000 pumps per bottle, the FDA approved foaming sanitizer can go for days in most applications before it needs to be changed out.  During CoVid-19, we have seen our touch-free For use in gyms, healthcare, schools, business environments and more.

CDC Hand Sanitizer Guidelines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have told us that clean hands are key part of our defense against coronavirus and COVID-19. We all should wash our hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. This is especially important after coughing, sneezing, or blowing our noses, as well as before eating, and after using the restroom. By now, we all pay attention to when we touch our faces, because viruses and germs can infect us if active microbes get into our eyes, nose, and mouth.

When should I use Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizer?

Alcohol-based Hand Sanitizer

• Before and after visiting a friend or loved one in a hospital or nursing home, unless the person is sick with Clostridioides difficile (if so, use soap and water to wash hands).
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, and wash with soap and water as soon as you can.

DO NOT use hand sanitizer if your hands are visibly dirty or greasy—for example, after gardening, playing outdoors, fishing, or camping. If a handwashing station is available, wash your hands with soap and water instead.

After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, you should clean your hands by immediately washing your hands with soap or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer to avoid spreading germs.
