How to use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers, which don't require water, are an acceptable alternative when soap and water aren't available. If you use a hand sanitizer, make sure the product contains at least 60% alcohol. Follow these steps:

• Apply the gel product to the palm of one hand. Check the label to find out the appropriate amount.
• Rub your hands together.
• Rub the gel over all the surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry.
