Is hand fit as well as washing hands with soap and water to kill and get rid of bacteria and viruses, such as Coronaviruset Covid-19?

We will try to sort out the concepts in an understandable way.

If we primarily concentrate on the Coronavirus, and specifically, the variant Covid-19 will start to look at the virus cell structure.

With or without lapid envelope

Viruses can generally be divided into two groups depending on whether they have a so-called lapid envelope or not.

The lapid housing is an outer casing found in, for example, influenza viruses (such as coronavirus). This outer casing surrounds the protein shell of the virus (capsule).

The casing consists of fat and carbohydrates coming from the host cell. The lapid housing helps the virus to penetrate into new host cells. Virus with lapid casing is called housing virus. Virus without this casing, which instead has its capsule as its exterior, called "naked virus".

Höljevirus is not as durable as naked viruses. In addition, casing virus cannot survive without moisture. This means that they cannot infect through dry body contact, but transferred directly from the host to host through body fluids such as saliva. * 1

Virus without casing: This includes the winter crest.
Virus with casing: This includes, for example, and fortunately the coronavirus.

Soap and (other solvents) are created to solve just fat, which is what the Coronavirus cover consists of. This means that the virus more or less breaks the solvent / soap. * 2.

Hand alcohol Also works well when it is something called "denaturing". This means that it breaks down protein structures. The alcohol seems both on the fat and on the protein. * 3

Why does soap and water work on viruses without lapid casing?
Viruses without lapid envelope must be primarily removed by mechanical cleaning. Then soap and water are unbeatable.

So what is most effective? Soap and water or hand liquor?

Hand liquor is generally recommended if you do not have access to soap and water when it is not primarily effective against viruses without the lapid envelope. * 2.

How to use soap and water, or hand liquor?

Imagine you are like most others, and take you in the face with hands up against 23 times per hour ... * 4

What part of your hands do you take you in the face with?
Regardless of whether you scratch in the eyes, remove a hair stuck on the lip or poking you in the nose, it is mostly fingers you use rather than the palms ...
Think about this, you understand how important it is to rub and rub all parts of your hands, considerably, to get every part clean. This pours both soap and water, and hand liquor.
Both hand liquers and soap require a certain contact time to be effective. Therefore, it is appropriate to clean themselves.

What is the best? Hand liquor or soap and water?

In competition between soap and water against hand-tail, it becomes dead race ... If your hands are clean, and if the hand liquor is sufficiently concentrated.

The hand liquor must maintain a concentration of at least 60% to be effective. If you are considering instead using the old vodan or bottle with Wiskey standing at home, we can give the Council to skip it. The alcohol concentration of the beverages is usually at a maximum of 40% and will not dissolve the virus as efficiently. * 5

Kills Hand-tail all bacteria / viruses?

Hand liquor kills 99.9%, if used right.

If one reads Product sheet For example, for DAX Alcogel, it appears under the section Microbiological information that 30 seconds is required to kill most bacteria. But for influenza A, 1 minute exposure is required for the effect to be achieved.

What options are available for hand liquor?

We also provide the product saloncide which is a disinfectant which is based on a mixture of quaternary ammonium compounds. Saloncide has been tested according to EN 13727, EN 1276 and EN1500 and has proven effective to 99.998%, comparing with the efficiency of the hand sprite of 99.9%.

The difference between 99.9% and 99.998% can supervise marginal. But in reality, this means a big difference: Let's take an example of 10,000,000 bacteria / viruses:
At 99.9%, 10,000 bacteria / viruses survive.
At 99.998%, only 200 bacteria / viruses survive.
