Are perfumes effective against coronavirus?
Governments worldwide and society in common are trying to fight against COVID-19 and learning how to limit its spread.
Hands are one of the main causes through which viruses can transfer from one person to the other. The most important thing you should do to protect yourself against this pandemic is to clean your hands. Because hands are the connecting piece, you can’t stop touching things or you can’t control who else touch it. But the thing you can do is to look after you own hands. Avoid touching contaminated surfaces, wash your hands properly with soap and water, use a clean paper towel and disinfect yourself and your surroundings every day.
So if you want yourself to be safe then wash your hand thoroughly with hand wash and soaps for at least 20 seconds. But if it’s not possible that you’re at a place where water and hand wash are not available then using hand-sanitizer is a perfect choice.
As we all know that the stores are running out of hand-sanitizers and people trying to make their own hand sanitizers using alcohol. But making your own hand sanitizers may not be suitable as it is difficult to ensure that you have the right formulation. It may not include enough alcohol to kill bacteria or viruses or maybe too strong and cause damage to your skin. So despite mixing it yourself isn’t it more suitable if you use fragrances that can be as safe and effective as hand sanitizers.
We came up with an idea, it may sound pretty strange that how perfumes help to kill coronavirus.
Okay, let me elaborate it, as experts are saying that solutions which contain at least 70% alcohol are effective to protect you from the coronavirus. And as we all know that perfumes contain alcohol in access amount so it is effective in keeping hands clean and thus lessen the risk of COVID-19.
Isn’t it a great idea to use fragrances or perfumes as a substitute for hand sanitizers?
Although spraying on perfumes is not an appropriate solution to stop or prevent coronavirus. Of course, the best thing to do is to wash your hands with soap and water. But when you’re not finding a way to wash them and as hand sanitizers are expensive and also running out of stock so you can use perfumes as a substitute.
Whenever we need to ho outside it is very important to have an alcoholic solution with us and rub hands with it frequently. While
we are discussing the alternative to hand sanitizers, most perfumes have at least 80% alcohol content in it. Also, the ingredients in perfumes come from regulated manufacturers. Although perfumes are not cleaning material, but in this hour of need it can be used as a substitute when no hand-sanitizers are available.
Perfumes can be sprayed on the palm and fingers and rubbed in for a few seconds.
