#DYK hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy? If your hands are visibly dirty or greasy, ALWAYS wash your hands with soap and water.

Use hand sanitizer the right way. Read the label to apply the correct amount and rub into all hand surfaces until hands are dry.
https://go.usa.gov/xVQu9
No soap and water to wash hands? Use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol in it.
