How Can SOAP Kill a Virus?

Ғылым және технология

Viruses can be really nasty things, but you might be surprised by how much damage a simple bit of SOAP can do! We've all been told to wash our hands during the Coronavirus outbreak, but have you wondered just how much good it's doing?

    My respect for soap has increased dramatically over these last 2 years.

    I taught at a school where the principle never wanted the kids to wash with soap and water... She wanted them only to use hand sanitizer. OMG, she did not like me one bit because I made the students use soap and water!

    There's a powder kit you can buy that's fluorescent in UV light; you brush it onto kids' hands, they wash their hands, and you check with a black light how well they washed them.

    One of the perks of working in a kitchen. My hands usually come into contact with soap several times an hour. Be it washing my hands, cleaning a surface, or washing the dishes. I doubt most people wash their hands that often. :p

    Life is always beautiful when you have good health, for almost 4 years I was diagnosed with HPV, and I was lonely and sad, luckily for me I was addressed to a kind and great herbal doctor who helped me to restore my health back to me, he sent me the herbs that cured my HPV, completely and the test results proves I'm now negative of the virus , all thanks to you dr.aniherbalhome1@gmail.com for the cure remedy for restoring my health, I will always be grateful to you for your kind gestures.

    Hand sanitizer is great when you need to remover marker ink or pen ink of the hands or clothing, too. Alcohol & window cleaner will also get permanent marker off of the white boards, too! Soap and water is best, but IF it is not available, THEN hand sanitizer is a good substitute until soap and water is available.

    You should proof read before posting. It seems that you accidentally put in a period.
