Soap vs Hand Sanitizer | Which is better: Soap or hand sanitizer? | TCS - TheCBSESolver

  Which is better: Soap or hand sanitizer? Soap vs Hand Sanitizer.  Your hands are anything but smooth. With peaks and valleys, folds and rifts, there are plenty of hiding places for a virus to stick. If you then touch your face, the virus can infect you. But there are two extraordinarily simple ways you can keep that from happening: soap and water, and hand sanitizer. So which is better?

This outer structure helps the molecular machinery of the virus break through cellular membranes and hijacks our cells. But it has thou...
