Soap vs. Sanitizer (Global Hand Washing Day Challenge)

Students in a science class at Fruitville Elementary in Sarasota, Florida test whether traditional soap & water or hand sanitizer are more effective for cleaning your hands. Sarasota Memorial Hospital tested skin swabs in their laboratory. This experiment was part of the Clean Hands Campaign, a regional effort to promote healthful hand hygiene sponsored by area hospitals and county health departments.
