If there is a clean restroom (good luck finding one), soap and warm water works best until you grab the door or its handle to leave the rest room.
The hand sanitizers are easier to use and probably less apt to get germy or virusey.
Kaiser with a lot of IDs and ID rns has the hand sanitizers everywhere for staff and patients.
They still use hot water and soap to scrub down if they are doing a procedure or handling the patient.
***until you grab the door or its handle to leave the rest room.***
How true. Our company placed the trash container by the door, then after washing, you dry on the paper towel, you then grab the door handle with the paper towel, open it, and then discard the towel in the trash can.
I wash the faucet handles when I wash my hands in a public restroom. No telling what was on the previous users hands.
