Abstract

This study was carried out to check the effect of different hand wash products on faecal bacteria, it is a fact that hand hygiene prevents diarrhea infection. But compliance with recommended instruction is poor. In this experiment, we picked up faecal bacteria from hands by swabbing method they were then allocated randomly to 1.swab of beforehand washing 2-handwash with|Dettol liquid hand wash and Patanjali with hot water and cold water and with Sanitizer( DETTOL) and other products such as savlon and lifebuoy. In this experiment we used 40 swabs, bacteria of potentialfeacal origin mostly enterococcus and enterobacteria spp were found after no hand washing in of sample. PATANJALI didn't inhibit faecal bacteria while DETTOL inhibits faecal bacteria and itis effective product than PATANJALI hand wash. Hand washing with DETTOL is more effective for the removal of faecal bacteria as compared to other products like PATANJALI. PATANJALI contain herbal ingredients NEEM-2mg and TULSI- 2mg which has antibacterial properties but concentration was not enough to inhibit faecal bacteria as it was confirmed with MIC and MBC. The concentration should be increased for good result of PATANJALI hand wash, whereas DETTOL showed excellent results against feacal bacteria and SANITIZER showed a moderate effect
