Abstract
Background: Handwashing is underlined as the absolute most significant measure to forestall cross-transmission of small-scale life forms and consequently to forestall nosocomial contaminations. Be that as it may, under routine emergency clinic practice consistent with this measure is still unsatisfactorily low, under half in many investigations distributed in the previous 20 years. This consistent finding is stressing because ongoing investigations have demonstrated that this degree of consistency won't decrease the danger of transmission of multi- medicate safe microscopic organisms in the emergency clinics. Results: In the present investigation effect of marketed hand washed namely Lifebuoy, Dettol and Savlon were tested on bacteria E. coli, S.aureus, S.pyogen, Klebshiella and, fungi Candida albicans. All the handwash at concentrated level found to be effective but only Dettol hand wash could give inhibitory action at 25ug/ml against Klebshiella while others at50ug/ml. Conclusions: Soapex and Dettol soap had broad spectrum activity as it inhibited the growth of Gram positive (Streptococcus pyogen) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli). Liquid handwash such as Lifebuoy,Dettol and Savlon showed broad spectrum activity on both Gram-positive and Gram negative test microorganisms.

Summary
The antimicrobial activity of any substance is described as its ability to kill bacteria or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Antimicrobial activity is important when considering the human body in regards to preventing diseases and skin infections [1]. Transient infinitesimal creatures are put away on the skin surface from environmental sources and cause skin defilements. Cases of such microorganisms are Pseudomonas aeruginosa [5] and Staphylococcus aureus [6] [7]. Handwashing is underlined as the absolute most significant measure to forestall cross-transmission of small-scale life forms and to forestall nosocomial contaminations. Be that as it may, under routine emergency clinic practice consistent with this measure is still unsatisfactorily low, under half in many investigations distributed in the previous 20 years. This consistent finding is stressing because ongoing investigations have demonstrated that this degree of consistency won't decrease the danger of transmission of multi- medicate safe microscopic organisms in the emergency clinics
