Hand Sanitizer                                                                                                Site Map

The CDC recommends that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used.

Protect Yourself

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand.
• Get your H1N1 flu shot.
• Keep common surface areas clean and disinfected.
• If you get sick, stay home.

Hand sanitizers can now be found in the entrances to nursing homes and hospitals and in many public washrooms. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.

To use hand sanitizers, place a small amount, the size of your thumbnail, on the palm of your hand and rub it over your entire hand, including in your nailbeds. If the gel completely evaporates in less than 15 seconds, you have not used enough product.
