Nilaqua Alcohol Free Sanitiser in stock boots online - KIDS VERSION ONLY NOW on 22:37 - Mar 19 by StokieBlue
It's a virus not bacteria and you need >60% alcohol for a hand santiser to be effective.

But it kills Norovirus?
I assumed as it was NHS approved it would kill viruses as well?
Anyway, even if it doesn't, my brother is autistic and obsessed with keeping his hands clean. He won't be going out and about so it's perfect for him to keep in his room.

So I believe it kills norovirus because it has benzalkonium chloride in it. That has been shown to kill it but it has not been shown to kill coronaviruses.
The best option is soap and the next best is >60% alcohol sanitisers. They work by breaking down the fatty membrane of the virus and then it basically just falls apart. The actual process of lathering also helps with this simply through friction.
Your final paragraph is an excellent reason to buy it :).

Would the NHS use it when there are much cheaper alcohol based solutions they could use if it doesn't kill virsuses?
I found this online:
'Alcohol attacks and destroys the envelope protein that surrounds some viruses, including coronaviruses. This protein is vital for a virus’s survival and multiplication. But a hand sanitiser needs to be at least 60% alcohol in order to kill most viruses.
Hand sanitisers with less than 60% alcohol were also found to be less effective at killing bacteria and fungi and may only reduce the growth of germs rather than killing them outright. '
This stuff kills '99.9999% of bacteria'. It must be powerful stuff.
And finally, their online shop is so busy it has had to close. It would be quite unethical for them to keep selling masses of their products knowing they don't work against the virus 99% of people are buying the product for.
I won't take any chances and i'll continue to look out for some alcohol based hand gel.

Household bleach kills 99.9% of bacteria. It doesn't mean it kills the same % of viruses too. They're completely different.

Really?! They're in for a massive fecking lawsuit if that's the case!
They say the WHO hasn't updated their sanitiser advice since 2001. A couple of places found the main ingredient in their sanitiser was effective against Coronavirus. They actually said on Instagram that they couldn't say for sure but there was enough of the active ingredient to kill the Coronavirus.
Basically 'we can't prove it because there isn't a standard test but yes it does' is their stance.

Some of us just want the antibacterial that we always used to use, but have been unable to get lately - nothing to do with Covid-19 but for things such as post 'picking up' after our dogs when out on walks etc. - so thanks J2!

A woman in Ireland demonstrated a helpful way to explain the importance of washing your hands to kids by doing an experiment that shows how quickly black pepper particles acting as a virus coronavirus move away as soon as the child has soap on his hands. https://t.co/u7P4KL3Wt4pic.twitter.com/zDfRE6Npea

That's outrageous.
As it stands, it doesn't qualify in any of the regards as something that can kill C-19. It's total speculation and this isn't the time for that. They could be contributing to the outbreak as people using it will feel they are safer.
Maybe if you used it and rubbed your hands really hard friction might have a chance but it's not the sanitiser doing it.
