I was specifically talking about the general public rather than a medical setting. Most people here probably fall into that category most of the time.hoboonthestreet wrote: ↑ I would be curious to know the sources for this. At least for health care settings in Ontario the best practice is to use hand sanitizer whenever possible, with soap and water as a backup. Soap and water is indicated for those special cases I noted. The rationale being that ABHR is more effective, faster, more convenient to access, and less damaging to your hands than repeated use of soap and water for health care workers.
I could understand advice for the public being that use soap and water, and ABHR (sanitizer) if soap and water is not available because it is unlikely that the general public are trained to be able to assess their hands for soiling or know when they may be at risk of spore forming organisms.
Whatever you do, wash your hands and wash them with the correct technique
PHAC, Health Canada, NHS, the CDC recommend soap and water before hand sanitizer.

That's criminal! I went to my local frills in Scarborough (Rob's no frills) and they have bottles for 5 bucks with a limit of 12 per family and had a ton of stock. Not a huge bottle, but given the demand on this stuff in the market and what people are asking online, I picked up few bottles. I like to support local store as much as possible and we got what we needed.

Late to the party, but great information both of you. Although I have not read the full thread, warm water and soap help in getting rid of oily residues on your skin which can harbor bacteria and viruses. In terms of denaturing proteins, I remember that isopropyl alcohol at 70% was the best at putting holes in bacterial walls. Then, because 70% alcohol has the greatest osmotic pressure, the water would gush into these holes and lyse the bacteria (or something like that). I do remember clearly that 70% was significant because %65 or 75% were less effective.deezz wrote: ↑ @hoboonthestreet Ahhh I think I see where the two different viewpoints are coming from now. Recommendations coming from those in healthcare, vs recommendations for the general public. To me it's actually great news for the general public then, that BOTH options are a truly viable course of action for us. Thanks for all the info!
In terms of viruses, jury was still out whether they were living or not. And because viruses were so much smaller than bacteria, I recall that there was no agent that could "denature" them that was safe for human cells. Of course, heat could always change their structure but we are talking about temperatures beyond what human cells could withstand. Sorry if this is old news and incorrect - I could only remember certain things from over 30 years ago.

I looked up the NPN and confirmed this product works.
For those of you who are lazy like me, you can buy it here too, albeit at a higher price vs Costco: https://well.ca/products/one-step-origi ... 22621.html

Unfortunately, people hoarding for the 2nd wave of Covid.
It use to be a limit of 1/Card member.
I'm guessing Hand Sanitizer stock is being replenished regulary, like toilet paper.

Is it still selling in the warehouse for $6.99 cause I can't believe they are asking for $14.99 on their website?
