Whilst hand sanitisers that feature alcohol are referenced by the WHO as one of the most effective products to use, it is also worth noting that other products can be just as effective. Alcohol gels can be harsh on the skin. The alcohol can dry the epidermis layers causing cracking. When used, the gels or liquids can evaporate in as little as seven seconds leaving an uncomfortable sticky layer and no residual protection.


Sychem Protect can provide good microbial performance and can stay active on the skin for up to four hours after use. The Protect range features inbuilt moisturisers with no residue. Spending a little bit of time when selecting products can go a long way in encouraging repeat use, compared to sticky gels that can leave no long-lasting benefit but rather a long-lasting annoyance which can discourage repeat use.

With sophisticated washing, cleaning and disinfection products and protocols in place, the public will become more confident and return to these spaces, particularly given the Government’s stated aim of getting us all fitter and healthier.
