Soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizers at removing certain kinds of germs.^{1, 2}

Hand sanitizers may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy. Hand washing with soap and water is recommended in such circumstances.¹

Hand sanitizers might not remove harmful chemicals, like pesticides and heavy metals, from hands. Although few studies have been conducted, hand sanitizers probably cannot remove or inactivate many types of harmful chemicals. If hands have touched harmful chemicals, wash carefully with soap and water.¹
