The present invention provides an antimicrobial cleansing composition comprising (a) 20 to less than 60 wt.%, preferably 25 to 55 wt.%, more preferably 35 to 50 wt.% of at least one alcohol selected from ethanol and propanol; (b) 0,5 to 10 wt.% of a surfactant selected from sulfate salt surfactants and amphoteric surfactants, preferably a sulfate salt surfactant comprising (i) an anionic molecule comprising a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, which is linked via an alkyleneoxy unit or polyalkyleneoxy unit with a sulfate group and (ii) as cationic counterion a protonated amine, preferably a protonated mono-, di- or tri- hydroxyalkylamine, and water. The composition developed by the present inventors shows effective cleansing and antimicrobial properties. Hence, using this composition it will no longer be required to provide in hospitals two separate dispensers for one (foam) soap and one antimicrobial alcohol-based composition. The present invention also relates to the use of this antimicrobial cleansing composition for making foam and a dispenser, preferably a non-propellant foam soap dispenser containing the above antimicrobial cleansing composition.La presente invención proporciona una composición limpiadora antimicrobiana que comprende (a) 20 hasta menos de 60% en peso, preferentemente 25 hasta 55% en peso, más preferentemente 35 hasta 50% en peso de al menos un alcohol seleccionado a partir de etanol y propanol; (b) 0.5 hasta 10% en peso de un agente tensoactivo seleccionado a partir de agentes tensoactivos de sal de sulfato y agentes tensoactivos anfotéricos, preferentemente un agente tensoactivo de sal de sulfato que comprende (i) una molécula aniónica que comprende un grupo hidrocarburo monovalente que tiene de 8 a 20 átomos de carbono, el cual se enlaza a través de una unidad alquilenooxi o unidad polialquilenooxi con un grupo sulfato y (ii) como contraión catiónico una amina protonada, preferentemente una mono-, di- o tri-hidroxialqu
