Other Uses for Hand Sanitizers

Hand sanitizers provide a quick, easy way to disinfect hands that are not visibly dirty. Because of their high isopropyl alcohol content, hand sanitizers can also be used for other purposes.

Work

Hand sanitizers can be used to effectively disinfect common items in the workplace setting. Purell, a major hand sanitizing brand, recommends using their product to disinfect your computer keyboard and mouse, as well as other office machines.

School

Teachers and students should use sanitizers frequently. Any toy or classroom item that comes in contact with a child's hands is susceptible to germs; utilizing hand sanitizers to clean and disinfect can help prevent their spread.

Permanent Marker Stains

Another great use for hand sanitizer is to aid in the removal of permanent marker stains, for example on white boards or clothing. Gently rub the stain with the solution to remove it.

Paint Stains

High-alcohol-content sanitizers can also help to break down pesky paint stains. They can work on just about any surface or fabric, even on paint brushes.

Glue Residue

Hand sanitizers provide a quick way to remove glue and other adhesive residue. For example, a little bit of hand sanitizer can remove sticky labels on glass jars.
