There is no difference between antibacterial and regular soap. This is according to a study by the University of Michigan.
Since the Swine Flu more and more people are using antibacterial soaps. The University of Michigan conducted several studies on the usefulness of these soaps †
In just one study, people who used antibacterial soaps had less bacteria on their hands , than people who used regular soaps. In contrast, in this one study, participants had washed their hands for half a minute 18 times a day for five days. Not a very realistic picture.
In addition, the antibacterial ingredients absolutely do not work against viruses † And they are just now responsible for the flu and colds.
Hospitals
In hospitals antibacterial soaps are useful † But the soaps used in hospitals contain up to ten times more of the antibacterial ingredients than the soaps you buy in the store.
