Washing your hands is essential in the fight against coronavirus!
Soap is therefore our best ally to avoid being contaminated.
But can we wash our hands with dishwashing liquid to eliminate the virus?
Good question, isn't it? It's handy when you don't have soap on hand in the kitchen.
The answer is yes, dishwashing liquid is effective against covid-19, but it is better to avoid! Here's why:
Dishwashing liquid is a cleaning product that removes dirt and impurities.
It acts as a detergent thanks to its surfactant properties.
Result, fat, dirt, grime... Hop! Eliminated! Perfect for having super clean dishes.
The dishwashing product is therefore effective in getting rid of germs and viruses that settle on the hands.
It is not a disinfectant strictly speaking, nor a detergent. But like soap, it is enough to make the virus inactive.
On the other hand, it is not recommended to use it too often just to wash your hands!
Why ? Because it attacks the skin of the hands... Indeed, it dries out the epidermis and weakens it.
And damaged skin is more favorable to the development of bacteria!

It's handy for troubleshooting when you don't have soap on hand!
Even though it's not virucidal, it's much better than not washing your hands at all...
But it is better to use a real soap to wash your hands several times a day.
In any case, it is also better to avoid dishwashing liquids sold on the market which are full of toxic products...
