@branchbasics: We love this so much! 👏 This smart girl hypothesized “soap will perform better because its molecules effectively remove the outer membranes of bacteria and viruses, while hand sanitizer leaves more germs behind.” 🧐 It comes down to removal vs. killing — Soap and water like Branch Basics REMOVES germs. Sanitizers/disinfectants KILL germs while leaving them in place. We love that she is visually showing people how removing germs with soap and water is the best option! 🧼 Sanitizers/disinfectants can also kill good, beneficial bacteria and create antibiotic-resistant superbugs (when some germs don’t die and mutate). They also often contain toxic synthetic chemicals. Whenever you have the option, always opt for soap and water! 💦🖐️
