SafeHands preps for new school year

BOCA RATON, Fla. — SafeHands, an alcohol-free hand sanitizer company, announced that it will offer back-to-school "buy one, get one free" coupons, providing savings for teachers who want to eliminate germs in their classrooms this fall.



The active ingredient in SafeHands is benzalkonium chloride, the same ingredient found in mouthwash and eye drops. The product has shown in numerous studies to have the same efficacy against germs as alcohol, according to the company. The coupons are redeemable at local Walgreens, Albertsons, Safeway and online.
