Answers:
Purell is great when you can't get to a bathroom to wash you hands. According to the CDC, washing your hands with soap and comfortably hot water is the best way to kill germs and prevent the spread of colds, flu, and other diseases. However, constant use of antibacterial cleaners and soaps can cause germs and to mutate, and become even harder to kill. Only use Purell when you have to, and the rest of the time use soap and hot water......Health Question & Answer

Bleach doesn't kill everything anyway-no point-just end up with dry irritated hands. Purell is good if you don't have old fashioned soap and water around. I usually use it example-after pumping gas, grocery store, etc. It's a quick fixHealth Question & Answer
