How to wash your hands

It's generally best to wash your hands with soap and water.

Follow these simple steps:

- Wet your hands with running water.Apply liquid, bar or powder soap.

- Lather well.

- Rub your hands vigorously for at least 20 seconds.

- Remember to scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails. 

- Rinse well.  

- Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel or air dryer.     

- If possible, use your towel to turn off the faucet.

Keep in mind that antibacterial soap is no more effective at killing germs than is regular soap. Using antibacterial soap may even lead to the development of bacteria that are resistant to the product's antimicrobial agents — making it harder to kill these germs in the future.
