Soap and water

Lots of people bemoaning the fact hand sanitisers have disappeared from supermarket shelves. Even those who discovered it was relatively easy to make at home found that within a day the ingredients available online had either rocketed in price or were sold out. However the good news is that soap and water are said to be just as good, in fact better. The graphic above explains why.

To help keep us safe enormous emphasis is being put on the necessity for regular hand washing – not just a quick wheech through tap water, but a thorough wash for 20 seconds. Some advice was to sing God Save the Queen to judge the time required, but the version below is more fun and, for many in Scotland, more appropriate.

Take care and stay safe.
