Sanitizer Uses in the Garden

A dollop of sanitizer is all you need to quickly clean your hands off bacterias that you might be exposed to while touching pots or tools in the garden.

2. Cleaning Garden Tools

Washing garden tools with water is not enough if you want to completely disinfect them. Sanitizer comes in handy when you quickly want to clean the tools without soaking them in water. This prevents the transfer of diseases from an infected plant to others.
