While hand sanitizers are effective at fighting respiratory viruses, they do not penetrate the bacteria found in the 'stomach bug' called Norovirus.

Only soap and water penetrate the type of bacteria present in the bad stomach bug.

Typical household cleaners like hand sanitizer or wipes don't kill germs from norovirus. Here's what you can use instead.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), alcohol-based hand sanitizer, which typically helps prevent many viruses, does not work well against the norovirus.

Hand sanitizers' main ingredient – a form of alcohol – is not capable of degrading norovirus' tough exterior.

Medical experts emphasize the most effective way to protect yourself and others from norovirus is frequent handwashing with soap and water, and you can skip the hand sanitizer.
