A single drop of any brand of soap contains quadrillions of
molecules called amphiphiles wich resembel biological lipids.
Their tails, which are similarly repulsed by water compete for
space with the lipids that make up the virus shell, but thy are
different enough to break up the regularity of the virus
membrane, making the whole thing come crashing down. Then
they form a bubbles of their own around particles, including the
virus´s RNA and proteins. And if you apply water to your hands
after that, the bubble will wash away
Hand Sanitizers
The best Rhinovirus killer
Hand sanitizers work less like a crowbar and more
like an earthquake, it is like when you remove all
the nails and mortar from a house and then
hitting it with an earthquake. Hand sanitizer is
more convenient to use on the go, but it is
preferably to wash your hand with soap and water
in this COVID-19 times.
