tricks to using it effectively

I love hand sanitizer! But little did I know that there are actually tricks to using it effectively and finding the right one. CNN has put together a great primer on instant hand wash, particularly in light of H1N1. Some interesting facts include:
- The optimum proportion is 60 to 95 percent alcohol. (CDC provides an interesting chart to go with this tidbit.)
- Up to 80 percent of all infections get spread by hands, says the CDC.
- During a regular work day, we should wash our hands randomly three to five times a day.
- Washing hands with soap and water is more effective than hand sanitzer; just make sure to scrub for 15 to 20 seconds.
