Science Buddies: Disinfectants

Curated by ACT

This experiment asks you to compare different types of cleaning agents. Household cleaning products, like bleach or Lysol, are included to see which ones kill the most bacteria. Different brands of antibacterial hand soap or dish soap are also compared to see which brand is the most effective. Finally, rub-on hand sanitizers are also included to see if they work better than alcohol, or compare to old fashioned soap and water
