Hand Sanitizers for Protection from the Swine Flu

What is the most economical way to protect yourself and others from the swine flu and many of the other communicable diseases out there?
  1. Purchase a bulk-fill automatic / no-touch soap dispenser / hand sanitizer.
  2. Mount it on the wall in your public area.
  3. Go to your local drug store, Wal*Mart, etc and purchase hand sanitizer lotion (alcohol or alcohol-free)
  4. Fill your hand sanitizer
  5. Use it frequently.
Why should you purchase an automatic hand sanitizer? If it is automatic, it will not be touched by the user, leading to less opportunity for spreading disease. This is the most hygienic way to dispense soap or hand sanitizer.

Why should it be bulk-fill? This gives you the maximum flexibility and cost savings. If it is bulk fill, that means you do not have to purchase the hand sanitizer in a bag or box but can pour in the most economical or convenient hand sanitizer that you can find.

Be careful, though. Not all automatic soap dispensers can handle the viscosity of a hand sanitizer in their system. You need to make sure that you purchase one that is robust enough to dispense a thick hand sanitizer.

I recommend the Fast Dry Automatic Soap Dispensers as the best for this task. Choose from the less expensive plastic cover version, the HK-950DA Hand Sanitizer or the more attractive and easier to clean stainless steel hand sanitizer. The HK-RSD01 Hand Sanitizer.
