Handwash is selling out everywhere so keep in mind that you can use bar soap, shampoo (with sodium laureth sulphate), shower gel or face wash if necessary to wash your hands.

To be fair Bloomburger, even if you're not medically trained at all and just an adult who reads and has listened to the news once in the last month, you'd know that.

Alcohol needs to be added to kill viruses. That’s why santizer is being sold out. Handwashing is just to clean off any droplets.
Where the hell do people get this crap from?

There was barely any bar soap in the supermarket earlier but I did get some. We do genuinely need some soap, I'm not stockpiling. I'm also slightly allergic to some soap/hand wash ingredients which doesn't help.

Hot soapy water is the gold standard for hand washing. Surfactant (soap)to loosen the gunk agitation (scrub) to lift it off the skin and rinse to wash away.
