sanitiser
Antibacterial hand cleanser
Sanitiser is the British spelling of sanitizer—a substance or product that reduces or eliminates germs on surfaces or skin.
Hand sanitisers, typically alcohol-based gels, became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic: There's sanitiser by the door.
The term extends to cleaning products for surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, and public spaces.
