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
