Hygienic hand washing refers to the action of applying soap using the rubbing technique and subsequently rinsing with water.

The main objective of hygienic washing is to remove traces of organic matter or dirt and drag a large number of microorganisms harmful to our health.

What do we need? Neutral pH soap, to guarantee respect with the skin and water. This technique is recommended for anyone.

Covid-19 has triggered the consumption of what we know as hydroalcoholic solutions, which we can find in liquid or gel form, among others.

The hand disinfection technique is used to remove microbes from our hands and, unlike hygienic washing, it does not remove dirt.

Disinfection of hands with hydroalcoholic solutions is recommended as an alternative to hygienic washing in those situations in which we do not have access to soap and water.
