Isn't one thing we definitely should disinfect is our stethescope??Why would you be picky about handwashing and not about proper disinfectant procedures for equipment?
Alcohol is not sporocidal, doesn't penetrate protein rich material, and it evaporates quickly making it a poor choice for equipment, especially if just using a prep pad as opposed to a drenched cloth or immersion.
How many of us do disinfect our pens... how about our stethoscopes... how about our smart phones?
