How does Purell® instant hand sanitizer compare to antibacterial soap?

Is there a problem with Purell® instant hand sanitizer staining floors?

Microsanrx - A Case Against Alcohol Gel Hand Sanitizers like...
Because alcohol is a solvent (Purell® Instant Hand Sanitizer contains 62% Ethyl Alcohol), it can dissolve floor wax and leave a dull or discolored spot if dripped on the floor. In certain situations, product may be "splashed" onto the floor from the user's hands as it is being rubbed in. If Purell® can dissolve commercial floor wax, imagine what it will do to the lipids in your skin cells.

If I use a hand sanitizer, do I need to wash my hands?

Tulsa Health Department - Frequently Asked Questions
YES! Hand sanitizers do not replace proper handwashing. Although hand sanitizers can effectively kill some germs on your hands, they do little to reduce the surface tension between your skin and dirt/grease/germs. The sanitizer only has an effect on the outer layer of film on your hands. Some bad germs are still present. When washing hands, first wet your hands with warm water, lather with soap for at least 20 seconds, rinse with warm water, then dry with a clean towel.

When can I take the jewelry out?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are two steps in the healing process. The first step seals the piercing and stops the risk of the piercing becoming infected. The second step takes considerably longer for the piercing to fully heal. During this second step, the jewelry can be removed for short periods of time, but the hole will shrink down as soon as the jewelry is removed. The time it takes to shrink down to the point you cannot reinsert the jewelry will vary upon gauge and how old the piercing is.

How does rarity affect the value of jewelry?

The Treasure Chest : FAQ
This can have a major impact on the price of a piece of jewelry. Ask yourself, how likely would it be to find another. Especially rare pieces are usually one of a kind. They may have been by special commission; difficult to make for one reason or another; or contain an element not easily found or duplicated. Fabregè eggs come to mind. These were made primarily for the royal family, they were quite costly even at the time and would be difficult to duplicate.

For how long can I keep out my jewelry?

FAQ
This depends. Each piercing has a different lifespan without jewelry. Bottom line, if you have to remove your jewelry, contact your piercer about retainers. This will prevent any chance of losing the piercing. And retainers are made with clear lucite, flesh colored or clear acrylic ends, and other styles of "hideable" accessories. So hiding your piercing shouldn't be an issue. And for athletes, a flexible material can be used such as Tygon.
