I would be very wary of the bolded. Hand sanitizers kill the good bacteria along with the bad which can be far from ideal when in a metal tube surrounded by lots of people not to mention the potential long-term issues with using sanitizers. I do agree the disinfecting wipes are a smart move

Soap and water remain the best option to this day.
