When should hand antiseptics be used? Before handwashing Instead of handwashing After handwashing Instead of wearing gloves

Hand antiseptics should be used instead of handwashing when hands are not visibly soiled. They are effective in removing most bacteria and viruses from the skin's surface. However, when hands are visibly dirty or greasy, they should be washed with soap and water. Hand antiseptics should not be used instead of wearing gloves when handling raw meat or other potentially contaminated items.
