CURRENTLY, the most used item during the Covid-19 pandemic is soap.
Since constantly washing your hands is a necessary activity during these uncertain times and soap stocks may run low or become overpriced, there are alternatives that can get the job done.

Listed below are four alternatives that are safe substitutes for hand soap.
Body Wash
This type of soap is generally the most similar to hand soap according to experts since it is meant for the skin.
Bar Soap
This type of soap lasts a long time, but people must make sure it is properly stored in a dry place when not in use.
Dish soap
Since this type of soap may be more irritating to your skin if used all day long, it should be your last option if other choices are available.
Shampoo
This may still work just fine for washing away germs, but, it will leave a residue on your skin. It is recommended to rather use soap and water when possible, even when hand sanitiser is available.
Hand soap alternatives must be used when you’re running out of options, but the important thing is to continue washing your hands regularly.
Wash at least 20 seconds using soap with clean, warm, running water.
You can also add lotion after you have washed your hands.
