洗手液的用處可不僅僅是洗手

Using hand sanitizer is a great way to "wash" and disinfect your hands when you do not have access to soap and water (via Insider). However, the product can be used for more than just cleaning your hands. As it turns out, hand sanitizer can have many other surprising uses. That is because hand sanitizer is a safe and effective disinfectant.

在沒有肥皂、沒有水的時(shí)候，使用洗手液是一個(gè)很好的“洗手”和消毒的方法。然而，該產(chǎn)品的用途不僅僅是清潔雙手。事實(shí)證明，洗手液還有許多令人驚訝的用途。這是因?yàn)橄词忠菏且环N安全有效的消毒劑。

Made with ingredients like isopropanol or ethanol, alcohol-based hand sanitizer can kill most potentially harmful germs, viruses, and bacteria — including COVID-19, according to New Jersey's COVID-19 Information Hub. In fact, the only germs that hand sanitizer can't kill are cryptosporidium, norovirus, and clostridium difficile.

新澤西州COVID-19信息中心表示，含酒精的洗手液由異丙醇或乙醇等成分制成，可以殺死大多數(shù)潛在的有害細(xì)菌、病毒和細(xì)菌，包括COVID-19。事實(shí)上，洗手液唯一不能殺死的細(xì)菌是隱孢子蟲、諾如病毒和艱難梭菌。

Hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60% alcohol in order to be completely effective; however, hand sanitizers that contain less than 60% alcohol can still help reduce the number of germs and bacteria on any given area, but they won't be completely destroyed.

洗手液需要含有至少60%的酒精才能完全有效;然而，酒精含量低于60%的洗手液仍然可以幫助減少任何特定區(qū)域的細(xì)菌和細(xì)菌數(shù)量，雖然它們不會(huì)被完全破壞。

Believe it or not, hand sanitizer can also be used for household cleaning and various aspects of personal hygiene (via HelloGiggles). According to Susan Griffin-Black, the co-founder of EO Products, you can use hand sanitizer to clean glass surfaces. Whether it's a window, phone, or computer screen, hand sanitizer can effectively wipe away any dirt and bacteria without leaving any smudges behind.

信不信由你，洗手液也可以用于家庭清潔和個(gè)人衛(wèi)生的各個(gè)方面(通過Hellogigles)。EO產(chǎn)品的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人蘇珊·格里芬·布萊克說，你可以用洗手液清潔玻璃表面。無論是窗戶、手機(jī)還是電腦屏幕，洗手液都能有效地清除污垢和細(xì)菌，且不會(huì)留下任何污跡。

You can also use it to clean up household messes. That's because hand sanitizer is great at disinfecting surfaces and getting rid of stains. For instance, if you accidentally spill a cup of coffee on your shirt and don't have any stain removal on hand, you can always use a pump of hand sanitizer to clean your shirt and remove any pesky stains.

你也可以用它來清理家庭垃圾。這是因?yàn)橄词忠涸诒砻嫦竞腿コ蹪n方面非常有效。例如，如果你不小心把一杯咖啡灑在襯衫上，手上沒有任何產(chǎn)品去除，就可以用一泵洗手液清洗襯衫，去除討厭的污漬。

Surprisingly enough, it can even be used as deodorant in a pinch. While it's not recommended for everyday use, hand sanitizer can help kill the bacteria on your armpits, which is what causes them to smell in the first place (via Byrdie).

令人驚訝的是，它甚至可以在必要時(shí)用作除臭劑。雖然不建議日常使用，但洗手液確實(shí)可以幫助殺死腋窩上的細(xì)菌，這是導(dǎo)致腋窩發(fā)臭的首要原因。
