=The Effects of Different Hand Soaps on Bacteria=

background research:
===An antibacterial is an agent that interferes with the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Antibacterial cleaners usually contain water, a fragrance, a surfactant, and a pesticide. The surfactant breaks up the dirt, the pesticide kills the bacteria, the fragrance makes it smell good and the water holds the cleaner together. Antibacterials are now most commonly described as agents used to disinfect surfaces and eliminate potentially harmful bacteria. When used under strict guidelines of application, the residue-producing agents have proven effective at controlling bacterial and fungal infection in clinical settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, neonatal nurseries and other health care facilities where there may be a high risk of infection. The effectiveness varies with each cleaning product. I want to test which cleaning product is more effective. ===
