Antiseptics – alcohol-based agents – can quickly reduce the number of germs and viruses in your hands in some situations.

High-quality antiseptic contains from 60-80% alcohol or contains 2% chlorhexidine.

Hand processing should take at least 30 seconds. The antiseptic should cover the entire surface of the skin of the hands. To do this, use 3 ml of solution. If you frequently use antiseptic, use a hand cream to avoid drying and skin cracks.

When using an antiseptic, first apply it to the surface with one hand and then spread it over the entire surface of both hands. It is important not to wipe the antiseptic until your hands are dry. Alcohol-containing antiseptics do not affect the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
