Abstract
A hand-washing method using an antimicrobial liquid hand soap which includes: (a) water; (b) a primary hand soap composition; (c) a biocide; and (d) a glutinous surfactant having a relative contact angle value with water of at least about +10° with respect to the primary hand soap composition. The glutinous surfactant is present in an amount effective to alter the tactile properties of the primary soap composition to promote longer and more thorough hand washing by eliciting a response to the soap's feel on the skin.
