Cut through marketing. Understand how hand sanitizers and wipes actually work, choose the right type for your facility, and build a business around them.
About this book
Hand sanitizers and wipes are ubiquitous—but most professionals don't fully understand how they work, when they're effective, or which products actually deliver on their claims. This handbook is written for facility managers, infection control professionals, business owners, resellers, and consultants who need practical, evidence-based knowledge rather than marketing language.
You'll learn the real difference between alcohol-based and non-alcohol formulations, what contact time actually means, how wipe material affects performance, and why some products work in certain contexts and fail in others. You'll discover how to evaluate products against actual regulatory standards (FDA, EPA, WHO), not just manufacturer claims. You'll understand the business side: how to resell, private-label, consult, or service this category for actual profit.
This is a reference handbook grounded in concrete specification, real-world usage, and professional context—written for people who want to know rather than be sold.
Reader Reviews
Joseph Miller
★★★★★Finally, a handbook that treats hand sanitizers like a real product category instead of a commodity. I manage facilities for a healthcare network, and Chapter 1 alone clarified why we were getting inconsistent results with different products—it's the contact time and formulation interaction I wasn't accounting for. The business section showed me we could offer sanitizer consulting to our clients. Exactly what I needed.

★★★★★This is solid reference material, but I expected more depth on compliance testing and how to read kill claim data. Chapter 1 was excellent—clear and practical—but once I got to the specs chapter I wanted more detail on how to actually verify what a manufacturer is claiming. Still useful overall, just not as comprehensive as the title suggests.

★★★★★Useful for getting past the marketing noise, and the breakdown of alcohol vs. non-alcohol formulations in Chapter 1 was helpful. I was hoping for more guidance on cost analysis and ROI for bulk purchasing, though. It's a good reference guide but feels like it's aimed more at facility managers than at people trying to actually run a reselling business.
