Best Answer

washing your hands of course is the most affective way of killing germs. but hand sanitizer is best when you don't have access to running water or soap.

Hand sanitizer kills more germs but drys your hands out with overuse. After the years go by you will find your hands getting itchy all the time. It is best to only use hand sanitizer when touching things as elevator buttons, public door handles & washrooms... etc.
