FACT OR FICTION?
Do Hand Sanitizers Work?
Lots of us carry little bottles of these alcohol-based gels to use as an alternative to hand washing, but do they work as well as soap and water?

Hand sanitizers don't necessarily work as well as soap and water. The effectiveness of alcohol-based gels like Purell depends on the type and amount of germs that they are up against. In general, the longer it's been since you've washed with soap and water, the less effective a hand sanitizer is likely to be. Proteinaceous and fatty materials (commonly found in any kitchen) are especially resistant to alcohol-based gels. The Centers for Disease Control guidelines that recommended hand sanitizers as a suitable alternative to hand washing were intended only for health-care settings, where doctors and nurses wash their hands several times an hour, providing the gels with a relatively clean surface to work on.

Flu Season Is In Full Swing!

Just over a month ago we sent an email about the current flu progress in the United States. Since then the numbers have changed dramatically! As you can see from the map inserted below the flu is spreading at an alarming rate.


We want to remind everyone to maintain your regimens by placing products in a conspicuous place; the kitchen sink, the bathroom sinks, the showers, by the front door, on your nightstands, in your cars and at the work and school desk of every family member. They will be easy to spot and just as easy to use. If you don't have product placed in these areas do so today. Stay protected and healthy.

Best Regards,
