Foam vs. Gel Sanitizer

Foam Sanitizer

  • Up to 99% effective at stopping the spread of germs
  • Substantial savings in product usage over traditional gel
  • Delivers approximately twice as many dispenses per refill as most gel sanitizers
  • Stays on the user’s hands — no mess!
  • Winter variety available (alcohol-based and freeze-resistant)

Gel Sanitizer

  • Up to 99% effective at stopping the spread of germs
  • Lower total cost per bag/case than foam (but higher cost per usage)
  • Easier to slide around all parts of the hand, including between fingers and around fingernails, than foam
  • Typically, a better option for healthcare and food service industries because it’s easier to sanitize all parts of the hand and ensure removal of germs
  • Can drip from the hands and make a mess
