Other tips: If you use soap bars, allow them to drain on a rack or use small bars and replace often. If you do not have soap and water, use a hand sanitizer. Remember, hand sanitizers do not kill all germs, so try to use soap and water. How to use a hand sanitizer: Apply the product to the palm of one hand. Rub your hands together. Rub the product over all your hands and fingers until your hands are dry. Be sure to rub sanitizer on the backs of your hands, between your fingers, around your nails, and on your wrists.
