Does paw sanitizer shoot virus?
More correctly, it should be "Does hand sanitizer inactivate viruses?" Because viruses aren't alive, here just basically inert particle that contain malignant code and proteins. But I am just curious because I was thinking about how ethyl alcohol can waste bacteria because they are alive. I know there is no replacement for good behind the times handwashing and a bar of tea tree soap.

My dad said it doesn't. When the swine flu thing started, I went out & bought like 10 things of appendage sanitizer & he was all "you know that doesn't kill virus right?"
Needless to say I gave him a blank & dissapointed stare. I'm hoping he's wrong.
It's "supposed to" but some say you're making it worse. IDK what to believe. I''m kinda crazed with cleanliness too but I'm not Danny Tanner like on Full House. Hand sanitizers kill 99% of GERMS. There might be other wipe or sanitizers from Lysol that kill viruses. But the Germ-X or Purell just kill germs. I always carry a purse sized one. Now I'm not sure if it's helping. Some Lysol products claim they kill 99& of germs but not viruses. I think you just hold to look at (in depth) what you're buying.
In short, No. The majority of anti-bacterial hand soaps, anti-microbial hand soaps and anti-bacterial mitt gels are not formulated for virus kill. Triclosan and PCMX are the main actives contained by most anti-bacterial hand soaps, and neither one of these chemicals are capable of doing anything to viruses. Ethyl Alcohol is the crucial active in hand sanitize gels, and it is only efficacious at killing microbes, and not even adjectives microbes for that matter.
There are several things that can handle viral loads, which would be compounds such as Na Hypochlorite, however it is not really all that possible to put such a component into a hand gel or hand soap.
Currently many companies such as P&G, Ecolab, Johnson and Johnson and SC Johnson are working incredibly diligently on formulating hand care products that will be efficacious in not merely anti-viral applications, but also in biofilm applications as well.
There are some industrial products that have anti-viral and anti-biofilm capability, but they are mostly limited to the medical, science and chemical fields. Source(s): Toxicologist
NO IT DOES NOT..SAYS KILLS UP TO 99.9 % BUT THIS EVEN IS OVER RATED ..WILL KILL GERMS BUT NOT THE INFLUENZA VIRUS OR ANY LIKE IT..
