My old workplace taught us to sanitise if there was no visible dirt and wash if there was...
Also got a shiver at the mention of fecal eruptions... We had a client come in who was clearly very ill, was puking and shitting by 10am... A colleague and I gave him a full change and wash, used a whole packet of wet wipes on the poor fella... I was wearing a plastic apron, gloves and a mask, there was shit and puke fucking everywhere... I was so traumatised afterwards I needed to take a thirty minute break and smoke half a dozen fags...
There are some things I don't miss about being a support worker...
And I wondered why I was always sick in that job?!?
I wouldn't use anything, if the BBC is reporting that making your own sanitiser is a waste of time then that's good enough for me. I think the point the expert is making is that stuff you have lying around at home won't work.
I very much agree with you on this
But I think there's concern that some people think sanitiser is an alternative to hand washing. Which I can well believe, unfortunately.
