Săpunul solid sau lichid: care este mai bun pentru spălarea mâinilor. Există o mare diferență • Newsweek România

The debate over whether solid or liquid soap is more hygienic for handwashing continues, especially in public spaces. Experts indicate that both types effectively eliminate germs, as confirmed by health authorities. However, solid soap can harbor bacteria on its surface, with studies showing a higher contamination rate compared to liquid soap. Despite this, the presence of bacteria does not guarantee transmission to the skin. Proper storage of solid soap is crucial to minimize bacterial growth, and it should be kept dry. In high-traffic areas, liquid soap is often preferred for its convenience and reduced contact with shared surfaces. Ultimately, effective handwashing technique is more important than the type of soap used.
