Sanitizing is a process to lower the number of germs on surfaces or object to a safe level which cannot be guarantee in the process of cleaning.
A sanitizing process can kill at least 99.9% of germs on hard surface. Therefore it is convenient for us to bring a hand sanitizer along to keep hygienic all the time. However, washing our hands is still recommended because sanitizing doesn't remove dirt or other impurities and it only kill germs.
