    Either will do just as good of a job. They are both cleaning agents. What is more important is that you wash your hands properly, not what you use.

    The health classes that I have had to take over the years for food handling have taught me that your hands will get cleaner with nothing but a one minute scrub under running water than a badly done 10 second wash with soap.

    Proper hand washing with soap and water:

    Wet your hands with warm, running water and apply liquid soap or use clean bar soap. Lather well.
    Rub your hands vigorously together for at least 15 to 20 seconds.
    Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.
    Rinse well.
    Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel.
    Use a towel to turn off the faucet.
