New coronavirus experts explain why hand washing with soap is better than hand sanitizer (2)
Why is it best to wash your hands with soap and water?
A: because you have oil stains on your hands, the virus will stick to them. They are statically charged. But when you wash your hands with soap, there's something in the soap that reduces the surface tension, so you rub the virus off your body. This is the most effective way we know. That's why surgeons wash their hands very carefully before entering the operating room. It works, and it works very well.
Simply put, soap is very effective in removing viruses from the skin, but people have to wash their hands with the right force and in the right way. This means rubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds, paying attention to the back of your hands, fingernails and every corner and gap.
