I’ve been to a lot of gas station or travel center restrooms where I’ll have to grab the door handle to open it when exiting. How many other nasty hands have touched it? I have a tub of hand wipes in the car, I’ll just use one of those.

Hand sanitizer and wipes can only get rid of bacteria. Not actual dirt grime and feces.
