Hand Sanitizers Registration

Hand hygiene is one of the most important hygiene practices. And hand sanitizer plays an important role in hand hygiene. With the onset of coronavirus in the UAE and the rest of the world, we all know how important it is to practice good personal hygiene. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are a quick way to disinfect and minimize the risk of getting sick. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, sales of hand sanitizers have soared. Washing with warm water and soap remains the gold standard for hand hygiene and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Washing with warm water (not cold water) and soap removes oils from our hands that can harbor microbes. But hand sanitizers can also protect against disease-causing microbes, especially in situations when soap and water aren’t available. They’re also proven to be effective in reducing the number and type of microbes.
