It is important to understand that disinfectant is not a substitute for washing with soap and water, especially if your hands get very dirty. In this case, if the dirt shows up, all the more reason they should be cleaned with soap and water. Certainly you have to make sure you have your hands disinfected, especially in times of Covid.
