Alcohol-based hand rub that is Therapeutic Goods Administration approved is used at the point of care; soap and water is used when hands are visibly dirty, after toileting, with infections such as Clostridioides difficile or norovirus and when rub is not available; single-use paper towels dry hands; antimicrobial soap is not recommended for everyday use.
