When you work in an office environment or go shopping with friends, what’s your go-to technique? Do you just squirt some on your hands before shaking someone else’s hand? Or do you squirt some then rub them together until dry? What about if someone hands you something – do you take it without first washing your hands? These are all common situations that many people deal with almost every day.
The importance of hand sanitation cannot be overstated, especially in today’s world where we can contract so many germs and bacteria.

These products can be very beneficial, but they also come with some risks as well – especially if you aren’t careful!
