What is Liquid Hand Sanitizer?
Liquid hand sanitizer is most commonly used for sanitizing users’ hands. It works to eliminate germs and bacteria from the surface of our skin. It is often used in tandem with multipurpose cleaning wipes and other disinfecting cleaning chemicals.
Many liquid sanitizers feature an alcohol-based formula that is safe to use on skin yet deadly to germs and bacteria. It is typically found in a squeeze or pump bottle, making it easy to dispense and apply. There are even scented products for those who prefer the pleasant smell of fragrances.
What Are the Benefits of Liquid Hand Sanitizers?
The primary benefit of hand sanitizer liquid is to protect users from harmful bacteria that can cover surfaces left unattended to. Due to its compact size, it can go anywhere with you. With liquid sanitizer, you can rest assured you have a sanitizer readily available in cars, restaurants, offices, kitchens and more.
It’s especially important in food and drink prep areas where the same appliances, dishware and cooking utensils are handled repeatedly, potentially spreading germs. Be sure to keep liquid hand sanitizer nearby hotspots like refrigerator handles, microwave ovens, toasters and coffee pots.
Please note that hand sanitizer liquid should not be used as a substitute for liquid hand soaps as their properties are different and so it is the outcome of prolonged use.
What Kind of Hand Sanitizer Liquid Should You Buy?
Here are some features to consider when choosing the liquid hand sanitizer that would best fit your needs.
Antimicrobial vs Antibacterial
While all liquid hand sanitizers are useful for removing harmful bacteria from the skin, some are able to eliminate more than just bacteria. Here are some key differences between these two kinds.
Antimicrobial hand sanitizer liquids prevent the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, parasites and certain viruses. This makes them a more comprehensive solution than antibacterial sanitizers, which destroy and limit the growth of bacteria only. In short, antimicrobial sanitizers are antibacterial as well as antiparasitic, whereas antibacterial sanitizers are only antibacterial.
Container Types
There are two main types of liquid hand sanitizer containers; cartons and pump bottles. Read on to decide which one is best suited for you.
Carton
Carton containers generally carry a large quantity of liquid sanitizer, making them a great choice for businesses that require product in bulk for repeated daily use. They can be more expensive but will last longer.
