Interesting, but I have a major problem with Purell and such products. I find that it leaves my hands feeling grimey, and if I use it because there is no soap I usually end up rinsing my hands with water to get rid of that feeling.
Not to mention many questions have been raised about using products that kill 99.9% of bacteria (there is such a thing as good bacteria), and the most effective part of washing hands is actually rubbing them together--not just splashing soap and water on them.
I'll take water and soap any day over Purell.
