Typical hand sanitizers are applied to your hands and seem to evaporate immediately. I presume, any bacteria present that come into contact with the hand sanitizer are instantly neutralized.
Is there any lasting antibacterial quality to these gels? The fragrance stays if there is any In the ingredients.
Perhaps, one must reapply the hand sanitizer any time one suspects contamination.
