Triclosan, isopropyl alcohol, and chlorhexidine gluconate are commonly used agents for hand disinfection. Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal agent, isopropyl alcohol is a widely used antiseptic, and chlorhexidine gluconate is an effective antiseptic for skin disinfection. Chlorine (bleach) and hydrogen peroxide are not typically used for hand disinfection due to their harshness and potential to cause skin irritation.
