Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer is an alcohol-based cleanser. It can be used instead of soap
and water if your hands do not look dirty or soiled. To clean your hands, put
enough liquid on your hands to moisten the front and back of your hands and
your fingers. Rub the liquid briskly like you are washing your hands. Be sure
to moisten between your fingers. Rub your hands 15-30 seconds or until
your hands are dry.
