Products containing triclosan are usually advertised with the slogan 'germ-free', 'against germs', 'odor free', 'combat odors' or antimicrobial, despite the fact that plain soap and water have the same effectiveness with antibacterial soap.

1. Instead of using antibacterial soaps, select soaps that do not contain toxins. Besides not good for health, antibacterial soap also impair water quality.
2. Stay away from products that are advertised with frills antimicrobial or antiseptic or make claims about odor free Even products that have been given Microban could also contain triclosan.
3. Avoid similar compounds such as triclosan soap containing triclocarban. If in need of antibiotics and do not have access to water and ordinary soap, look for hand sanitizer containing 70 percent alcohol. Avoid artificial fragrances in the hand sanitizer as well.
