Will using conventional soap and water affect the performance of EcoHydra’s Antimicrobial Instant Hand Sanitiser?
EcoHydra’s Antimicrobial Instant Hand Sanitiser is positively charged (cationic), but conventional soaps are negatively charged (anionic). Mixing these two types of formulas together at the same time at a sink, for example, will decrease the effectiveness of both formulas. However, the researchers accounted for the possibility that the user might wash with a conventional anionic soap before using EcoHydra’s Antimicrobial Instant Hand Sanitiser: the lab’s effectiveness testing actually includes the use of a conventional anionic soap immediately (ca 5-10 minutes) prior to product testing. The net finding of that research was that even with prior conventional soap use, the antimicrobial system found in EcoHydra’s Antimicrobial Instant Hand Sanitiser outperformed comparable sanitisers.
