    Hand Sanitizer: NOT All Created Equal

    By GALTime.com | Healthy Living – Sat, Jan 30, 2010 3:00 AM EST

    The use of hand sanitizer is soaring ..... but did you know there can be a big difference between products?

    When you search store shelves looking for an alcohol based hand sanitizer, there's one important number to watch out for according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)..... and it's probably not the one you think.

    Don't be drawn in by a label promising to kill 99.9% of germs. Turn that bottle over and check out the alcohol concentration. Make sure it's 60% or greater. Some products only contain 40%.

    There's actually a right and wrong way to use the products. Click here for important tips.

      There are new hand sanitizers that kill 3 times the germs, work up to 30 minutes, and they are safer for kids than the ones that contain alcohol. This one is my favorite: http://www.cleanphirst.com/store/alcohol_free_foam_hand_sanitizer.asp
