Kanji Reading Practice #15 - Products

 アルコール除菌

For this Kanji Reading Practice we have a type of product that has been very popular for the last year (since around March of 2020).

Well, you should be able to determine that by the photo on the package. There are 14 kanji on this product package, with 9 of them being lower than level 30 on WaniKani. There are 2 kanji that are level 45. The only reason I can do this product know is that I just hit level 45 on WaniKani.

Try your hand at translating this product package and see how much you can understand without looking up any kanji! Explanation of the kanji in this reading practice is below the photo...
