How to get germ-free hands on the go

Before you take a bite of that sandwich, wait! Did you wash your hands after touching the escalator rail, the ATM, your change?! No, we’re guessing not. Which means your hands are probably crawling with germs, which are now on your food, and well on their way into your mouth. Gross!

If you want to kill germs on the spot, there is a secret weapon you can carry with you that’s small enough to fit in your purse, but packs a punch big enough to banish bacteria on the spot! It’s hand sanitizer, and we’ve got a few hand cleaning variants to pick from so you can choose the perfect hand sanitizer for you.

- Dettol Instant Hand Sanitizer Refresh – kills 99.99 per cent of germs on the spot, while added aloe vera provides soothing moisture to hands.
- Radox Hand Sanitizer in Sea Minerals & Thyme - relaxing and fresh, this leaves hands feeling clean and soft, while killing germs on the spot.

Germs can strike not only when you’re out and about, but at home too. Your hand wash pump can often house a lot of these bacteria. Win the fight against germs with this No-Touch Hand Wash System from Dettol. The clever technology automatically senses the hands and dispenses just the right amount of soap that kills 99.9% of germs

We’re guessing these celebs aren’t too worried by germs…

I buy Aqium hand sanitiser in the huge 1L bottle. I refill my purse-sized bottle to use when I'm out.

These are good ideas for hygiene hands - I like the sounds of the sea minerals & thyme by Radox.

I don't really like using hand sanitisers. I don't like the smell of most of them and they dry and irritate my hands. I prefer to use wet ones, they are non scented and don't dry your skin.

I have a small bottle of hand sanitiser in my bag for cleaning and also if I touch something sticky.

My mum told me to avoid using hand dryers because the warm temp. Is a great breeding ground for germs., is that true?

I keep one in my handbag. Very handy to whip out before I eat on the go.

These products are so good for when you are in the yard gardening or a place where there is no taps to wash your hands. Parks and playgrounds are other places that this instant germ remover can be needed. Yes, thank goodness for dettol.
