Yes, killing 99.9% of germs is pretty good—only leaves at most 1 in 1000. But, considering that there are millions of germs—and that it doesn’t take too long to divide—after a few hours, that one has become 1000 again. . . .
Well there ya go breeding super germs by knocking out the competition. Excessive cleanliness is not a virtue it is a potential hazard. I write this in comfortable squalor!

This is why we need to use antibiotics sparingly, including antibacterial soap. Drug-resistant bacteria and viruses are a real problem.

The .01% doesn’t have a prayer here!

Pour some diet cola down there, Horace; that ought to kill it, or at least make it nauseous.
