Soap and water remain the best option to this day.
This x2!!! Hand sanitizers really need to be taken off the market. In practical usage, they're useless against preventing illness. At worst, they leave only the resistant bacteria behind. It infuriates me when I see them used in hospitals by staff instead of properly washing their hands. No wonder C.Diff and other resistant bacteria are rampant.
