Well TRiclosan, the chemical that makes Antibacterial soaps work, actually isn't as helpful as made to be. Triclosan kills 99 out of each 100 germs on your hands. But that one bacteria, that didn't get killed, is not immune. They multiply, making thousands, then millions, of immune bacteria. So there is no way to kill them! Now you tell me that Antibacterial soaps are good.
