Turkey using Kolonya as hand sanitizer

Turkey has found a unique way to sanitize hands as they are using “Kolonya”, a sweet-scented liquid which has been a symbol of Turkish hospitality and health since the Ottoman Empire, and it’s often described as Turkey’s national scent.

The alcohol content in Kolonya can kill germs and act as an effective hand disinfectant
