Question -  Where can I find background research on the chemicals that
help eliminate bacteria in hand sanitizers? Which cleansers work the best
in eliminating the most bacteria(antibacterial gels, soaps)



There is a nice article about antibacterial cleansers
from Scientific american at
http://www.sciam.com/explorations/072197bacteria/mirsky.html

that gives a lot of back ground information.
