Research Notes on Hand Wash Effectiveness

All practiced methods of handwashing (e.g. handwashing with soap, using alcohol rubs, etc.) are almost equally effective in preventing infections or contaminations. Sometimes, a combination of washing with soap and water and using alcohol rubs after, could increase the effectiveness of hand washing. However, factors such as bacteria developing resistance to antimicrobial rubs decrease the effectiveness of hand washing.
