That's very true, but often it's still not enough. When I sliced the top of my knuckle off, I cleaned it thoroughly under the tap and again with alcohol swabs, both of which I also did with my finger, before I reattached the knuckle skin. I used sterile equipment, fresh from the pack, so being careful there too. Still managed to get an infection.
