Can you wash your hands with shampoo?

This is coming from my girlfriend here, she is training to be a cosmetologist. She discovered today that her teachers are putting shampoo in the soap containers that the students use to wash their hands with. The act sparked a debate: Can shampoo be used to wash hands effectively? I say shampoo has to have some cleaning qualities; my girlfriend says that shampoo most definitely is not equivalent to anti-bacterial soap and therefore should not be labeled as such in a container.





Can shampoo be used to wash hands, and it is anti-bacterial?|||Is your girlfriend a to be gorilla or a wooly mamoth.. r plans to become one..., Kidding|||It%26#039;s not antibacterial but there is no reason you can%26#039;t use shampoo to wash any part of your body. It is a clensing agent and will kill most germs. Washing with warm warm water and any soap is enough to kill most germs.|||Of course it isn%26#039;t the equivalent of anti bacterial soap but its darned close to regular hand soap.|||I do dat junk all da time...lol|||Sure you can, you can wash your hands with Mud, Doezn%26#039;t mean they%26#039;ll get clean, Your going to get sick if you do that ;)|||I suppose if your state requires a MSDS to be posted and all containers must contain the exact ingredients listed on the bottle, they could be in violation of OSHA regulations.





Yes it will clean your hands. BTW, regular soap and antibacterial soap clean your hands equally as well when used properly.|||There are few real differences in hand soaps, shampoos, and body washes. It%26#039;s all marketing. Read the ingredient labels; there are the same fundamental ingredients - sodium laurel sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate.|||Can you girl friend cut my hair.


If you have hairy palms its OK|||Yeah. And it can wash clothes. Powder laundry soap can clean your bathtub. Works like Comet. You can wash your hands with dish soap. You can wash your clothes with body soap. You can wash your dishes with hand soap. You can wash your dishes with body soap. You can moisturize your hair with olive oil. You can cook with olive oil. You can condition your hair with egg. You can brush your teeth with baking soda. You can clean your house with baking soda. It smells good on carpet. So does baby powder. You can clean your tennis shoes with toothpase, with a toothbrush. You can use Windex to clean counter tops. The list goes on. And on. And on.|||Of course shampoo can be used to wash your hands - and no it is not anti-bacterial!!!|||Not anti-bacterial, but definitely soap. It%26#039;s been proven that the %26quot;anti-bacterial%26quot; agent in hand washing liquid is so infinitesimal that it won%26#039;t kill germs any more than plain soap. So use shampoo, it cleans just as well as anything else and smells nice, too.|||yea you can use shampoo to wash your hands. i know people who use it to wash there bodies in the shower!!!|||yes you can because i%26#039;ve done it before and nothing happened to me but its better to use soap like usual
