For an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to work properly you must rub your hands until the gel is completely dried on your hands. I use it frequently at work which is highly recommended in lieu of hand washing. Hand washing tends to be far more drying to the skin which leaves you open to skin infections. I use both hand sanitizers and an antibacterial soap at work, the sanitizers are quicker and promote more frequent hand cleansing for staff. I work in health care so the precautions are necessary.

At home, I was my hands frequently while cooking, after toileting, before eating and when visibly soiled. I use a basic foam soap solution of Ivory hand soap which I cut with 2/3 water so I can use it as a foam soap which I prefer. It makes the soap last longer, saves money and I find the antibacterial products unnecessary.
