One Step Extra Strength hand sanitizer is kills 99.9% of germs!

When I read that line, I went hunting down One Step Extra Strength at my nearest drugstore.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but it’s almost impossible to get your hands on hand sanitizer these days. I had to go to three different drugstores and I still ended going home empty handed.
While I was at one of the drugstores I noticed a clerk opening a box with small bottles of hand sanitizer and I asked her if she carried the One Step Extra Strength and she took me to the section where they kept hand sanitizers and the shelves were bare. She explained they could not open the boxes fast enough because people where buying hand sanitizer in multiples.
It’s no secret that every health body around the world has been telling people to do two things to avoid catching any form of flu: 1) wash your hands 2) use hand sanitizer.
I’ve gone one step further and I’ve started letting people know that I was not shaking hands anymore. Now this might have been considered extremely rude a few years ago, but now people are relieved!
The reason why I was running around the city to buy One Step Extra Strength is because it kills 99.9% of germs on contact, including flu viruses, the common cold virus, antibiotic resistant bacteria, TB bacteria and many types of viruses found on the things you touch all day – and on your hands. That includes E. coli 0157-H7, Listeria Monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhi, Staph Aureus, Candida Albicans and B Capacia!
At 70% Ethyl Alcohol, this is hospital strong — the strength of hand sanitizer hospitals use!!!
The price is also unbeatable because it’s only $6.99 and it’s fragrance-free!
Alas, this product is only sold in Canada for now, but I’m sure there are many great brands of hand sanitizer in most countries! You’ll find One Step Extra Strength is most drugstores around the country!

I think it is also important to mention that hand sanitizers (as great as they can be) also kill the beneficial bacteria that our body actually needs to fight off bugs!! OUr family carries hand sanitizer with us a lot but we also make sure to take our daily Vidazorb probiotic to replenish the good bacteria in our system.

smilinggreenmom,
I could not agree with you more.Until the swine flu errupted I never used hand sanitizer, but time are different and I do carry a bottle in my hand bag for those times when I’m meeting people, shaking hands and I don’t have access to a bathroom to wash my hands.
I always opt for washing my hands with regular soap first, but sometimes that’s not possible.
I don’t use my hand sanitizer daily, but I’m glad I have it on hand!
Thanks for the comment.

How come no one does the story about the new sanitizers on the market which are alcohol-free? There are new products that kill 3 times the germs, work up to 30 minutes, and they are safer to use than alcohol. This one is my favorite: cleanphirst.com/store/alcohol_free_foam_hand_sanitizer.asp

Michael,
If you send me an email via our contact us page, I’ll send you our contact and you can send a sample and can see how we like the product.
If it’s effective, kills germs and doesn’t dry the skin … it’s worth talking about.
