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?
This video was inspired by an excellent post by the New York Times. Check it out here: www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/he...

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!

4:00. Great idea for a soap manufacturer. Special demonstration tinted bars. Sort of like those pills to color the plaque on kids' teeth.

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.
Yeah i am a bit scared too get sick and this video makes me feel safer thanks
Short and excellent
Why have never heard this before ?
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
Amazing content. Comforting voice. Love it.
Good content. full concept understanding

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.
