Just the act of washing mechanically cleans it off so wether alive or dead it's not there to get into your eyes/nose/mouth/(insert favourite orifice here) and infect you, a hand sanitiser removes nothing so needs to kill the nasties to be any use, I did see a good thing on tv last week about how to self isolate where the doctor presenting was cleaning down a communal basin and pointing out that there is no need for anti-anything just general surface cleaner as you are wiping nasties off not killing them, he also showed HIS medicing cabinet with HIS multivitamins that He took when feeling ill and saying that they did not work and are a waste of money, it's nice to see even the pros go along with the same old snake oil that us mere muppets do.
