To learn more about Hands2GO click on our frequently asked questions below.

Was Hands2GO formerly known as THE SMARTER SOLUTION?

Yes. Our product name was changed in mid-2003 to better reflect the quick and effective nature of our water-based formulation. It is the same great product; only the name and packaging have changed.

How often can I use Hands2GO?

Use it as often as you want. It is 99.9% effective, yet pure and gentle enough for frequent hand cleansing. Not only will your hands feel softer, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing that you are not exposed to harmful germs and bacteria through hand contact.

How do I use Hands2GO?

Just spray or pump once into your palms and rub your hands together until dry. There's no sticky or tacky feeling as with gel-based antibacterials. Your hands will feel soft and moisturized. Each 1.69 fl. oz. foaming bottle contains more than 150 applications. That's just 2 cents per use!

How quickly does it work?

Hands2GO kills 99.99% of germs immediately upon contact.

What germs does Hands2GO kill?

Hands2GO is proven clinically effective in killing harmful bacteria such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staph Aureus, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Aspergillus, Candida Albicans and E. Coli.

Has your product been tested to prove your 99.99% effectiveness claim?

Yes. Hands2GO is produced at an FDA-regulated plant. Independent laboratories have tested for product safety and antibacterial efficacy, and to ensure that Hands2GO adheres to FDA standards for preservatives. Initial testing was completed in November 1997; effectiveness against MRSA was confirmed in January 2008.

What is benzalkonium chloride?

Benzalkonium chloride – the active ingredient in Hands2GO – is a salt. It has been used by physicians and aestheticians to sanitize safely for more than 40 years.

Why is Hands2GO fragrance-free?

Our market research indicated that consumers did not want scents that could interfere with their own fragrances. Many people use Hands2GO before eating and do not want their food tasting like perfume or heavy herbs. Plus, we wanted to create a product as pure as possible so that even people with skin sensitivities could use it.

What about quality control?

While we are a small company, we are fanatics about quality control. We are present and oversee the manufacturing of every batch!

Is this true that frequent antibacterial use is harmful, because it eliminates "good bacteria"?

There are "good bacteria" in your body to ensure proper health, such as acidophilus in your digestive system. However, after speaking with countless doctors and dermatologists, we've been unable to locate something that could be deemed a "good bacteria" for your hands, other than your own natural oils and fatty acids, which our product leaves intact.

Can antibacterial products contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

There is rising concern about antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but topical antibacterial products (as opposed to antibiotic medication) have not been shown to contribute to bacterial resistance, according to professionals such as Dr. Jerry McEwen, vice president for science at the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association. However, reports by researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine have linked antibacterial and antifungal agent Triclosan to the development of new strains of bacteria in controlled laboratory experiments.

Does your product contain Triclosan?

Absolutely not. Triclosan's effectiveness and safety as an antibacterial agent is questionable. Our antibacterial agent, benzalkonium chloride, has proven its effectiveness and safety through decades of use in the medical field where sanitary environments are of vital importance.

Do you guarantee that Hands2GO will not dry out my skin?

Absolutely! Hands2GO does not contain alcohol or any other skin-drying solvents. We're so convinced that Hands2GO will leave your hands feeling softer and smoother than any other instant hand sanitizer that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee: If you find that Hands2GO dries your skin, simply return any unused portion for a full refund (less shipping).
