You also forget that the term Anti-Bacterial is a loose definition at best. That's one reason most anti-bacterial things don't work well. Disinfectants like bleach and alcohol are what you really want. Technically , water, sunlight, urine, a tissue... can all be considered anti-bacterial. But when it's all said and done, even after a disinfectant is used on your countertop, the germs are all back in only 2 hours. The good it does do though is prevent the really bad bacterias from overrunning things.
Soap and water for your hands and face, disinfectants for everything else. Simple.
