A solid cleaning agent particularly adapted to remove dirt, debris and pathogenic microorganisms from the fingertips to prevent or reduce auto-inocculation. The cleaning agent having a penetrability (as defined) of from 50 to 250 mm, a speed of dissolution (as defined) of less than 2 minutes and being of such a consistency that when the fingers of a dry human hand are pushed into the cleaning agent 30 mm and withdrawn sufficient cleaning preparation will adhere thereto to enable the hand of the user to be washed with the cleaning preparation adhered to the fingertips. The cleaning agent preferably is superfatted and contains antimicrobial agents to further reduce the pathogen population in the fingertip region. The cleaning agent is designed to act as a self-vaccination system facilitating the introduction of weakened microorganisms into the body, and to reduce the bio-electric current to the fingernail bed. |
