Since I'm an antibacterial freak i found this quite interesting, I'll just use clorox bleach and water more often.

These substances act nonspecifically, meaning they wipe out almost every type of microbe in sight—fungi, bacteria and some viruses—rather than singling out a particular variety.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa031&articleID=024FEAE8-E7F2-99DF-323D8E02C4E48BF6"><P>Unlike these traditional cleaners, antibacterial products leave surface residues, creating conditions that may foster the development of resistant bacteria, Levy notes. For example, after spraying and wiping an antibacterial cleaner over a kitchen counter, active chemicals linger behind and continue to kill bacteria, but not necessarily all of them.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa031&articleID=024FEAE8-E7F2-99DF-323D8E02C4E48BF6&pageNumber=2&catID=9" href="http://sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa031&articleID=024FEAE8-E7F2-99DF-323D8E02C4E48BF6&pageNumber=2&catID=9" style="font-size: 11px;">sciam.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa031&articleID=024FEAE8-E7F2-99DF-323D8E02C4E48BF6&pageNumber=2&catID=9"><P>In general, however, good, long-term hygiene means using regular soaps rather than new, antibacterial ones, experts say.
