The soap that hospitals use is Hibiclens antiseptic skin cleanser which is used before surgery and other medical procedures to reduce risk of infection and spread of germs and bacteria.

The cleanest soap in the world is NIUGINI ORGANIC's pure, unscented soap which is made of 100 percent plant derived sodium cocoate.

The soap that most dermatologists recommend is Dr. Bronner's soap as well as Basis Soap, Olay Soap and Dove Soap.

The number one antibacterial soap in the world is Hibiclens and the number 2 antibacterial soap in the world is Dial Soap.

Cetaphil soap is 3rd and Dove is ranks number 4 as an antibacterial soap.

Soap does really kill 99.9% of germs and bacteria.

Washing your hands with soap and water for 15 seconds helps to get rid of 90 percent of bacteria and germs and if you wash your hands for 30 seconds the soap gets rid of 99.9 percent of the bacteria.

Antibacterial soap kills bacteria by stealing the active sites from the natural sibstrate.

The Triclosan systematically kills the bacteria by stopping the fatty acid chain growth as the Triclosan works as a competitive inhibitor and then a battle between bacteria and Triclosan for active sites ensues.

Soap does really actually remove germs as the soap is made so that it decreases the water's surface tension and lifts the oils and dirt and germs off the surface so they can easily be rinsed away.

Regular soap does not contain added antibacterial chemicals although it's very effective in getting rid of germs, viruses and other bacteria.

The dish soap that kills the most germs is Ultra Palmolive Antibacterial Dish Soap which kills 99.9 percent of bacteria on dishes, kitchen surfaces and even your hands.

Dawn Dish soap also kills the most germs and bacteria as well.

Dawn dish soap does kill viruses and bacteria.

Dawn Dish soap is anti bacterial and kills up to 99 percent of bacteria and viruses on your hands and dishes.

You can use Dawn dish soap for your hands as well as your dishes.

Dawn dish soap is very gentle on the hands and can also get grease and oil off your hands as well.

If you wash your hands with water but not soap the hands may come clean or at least partially clean but viruses and germs will be left behind on the hands.

The soap is essential to properly removing dirt and grime from your hands as well as viruses and bacteria.

Doctors recommend Dial soap as it is easy on the skin and also has anti bacterial properties and kills 99.9 percent of bacteria that are found in household settings in 30 seconds.

The Dial Antibacterial soap can better protect you from commonly transmitted bacteria better than simply washing your hands with non antibacterial soap and water.

Soaps that are formulated to contain an approved antibacterial ingredient can be marketed as an antibacterial hand soap.

DialĀ® antibacterial hand soaps are formulated with the bacteria killing ingredient called Benzalkonium chloride.

They are chemically known as Quaternary Ammonium Chlorides (Quats).

Dial Soap is a good soap and gets your skin really clean and also kills germs and bacteria on your skin at the same time too.

Although Dial Soap and other soaps can also be bad as they contain some bad ingredients.

Some bar and liquid soaps labeled antibacterial contain triclosan, an ingredient of concern to many environmental, academic and regulatory groups.

Animal studies have shown that triclosan alters the way some hormones work in the body and raises potential concerns for the effects of use in humans.

Dial is an American brand of soap and body wash manufactured by Henkel, the American subsidiary of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA.

It was the world's first antibacterial soap.

Hibiclens antiseptic skin cleanser is strong enough to kill some of the toughest hospital germs but gentle enough for routine family hand washing. The active ingredient in Hibiclens is 4% chlorhexidine gluconate which helps reduce bacteria that can potentially cause disease.
