Product Information
Full details
This Alcohol Hand Gel from Clover is designed for adults seeking effective, rapid hand sanitization to prevent the spread of contaminating organisms. Its key benefit is its high alcohol content (minimum 60% EtOH), proven to kill gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria without the need for rinsing. A potential caveat is that it's formulated for high-risk environments, so while safe for general use, its primary design is for professional settings.

FAQs
How often should I use the hand gel?
Use the hand gel whenever soap and water are not readily available, especially after touching surfaces or before interacting with others. It is designed for frequent use.
Is this hand gel effective against viruses?
The gel contains a high concentration of alcohol (minimum 60% EtOH), which is effective against many bacteria and some viruses. However, for specific viral inactivation claims, always refer to the product's official labeling or manufacturer's guidelines.
Can children use this hand gel?
While the product is designed for adult use, it can be used by children under adult supervision. Ensure children do not ingest the product and wash hands thoroughly if it gets into their eyes.
What should I do if I get the gel in my eyes?
If the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Does this hand gel replace handwashing?
This hand gel is an effective alternative when soap and water are unavailable. However, handwashing with soap and water is recommended when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
How much gel should I use per application?
Dispense enough gel to cover the entire surface of your hands. Rub hands together, including between fingers and under nails, until dry.
