Why is it important to wash your hands thoroughly and frequently?

The scientific research shows that regular hand washing improves health outcomes, and is the best and most effective way to reduce the spread of infections.  For more scientific research visit the CDC website.

What is the best way to wash your hands?  

It’s important to use clean water, liquid or bar soap.  Regular soap is fine as antibacterial soap hasn’t shown any increase in protection.

Step 1: Wet your hands

Step 2: Apply soap and lather by rubbing palms together

Step 3: Wash in between your fingers- don’t forget your thumbs!

Step 4: Wash the backs of your hands

Step 5: Wash under your fingernails by rubbing your fingertips in the opposite palm

Step 6: Rinse thoroughly

Step 7: Pat dry with a clean towel or air dry

Step 8: Turn off faucets using towel to prevent recontaminating your hands and discard paper towel immediately

Following this method will ensure you wash for the recommended minimum 20 seconds (about the length of time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice).

Hand Sanitizer

Is Hand Sanitizer as effective as washing with soap and water?

If you do not have access to soap and water and your hands are not visibly dirty, hand sanitizer is an effective way to clean your hands as long as it contains at least 60% alcohol.  Use enough product to cover hands entirely and use the same method for washing your hands until your hands are dry.

Note: Always wash your hands before eating as alcohol-based hand rubs do not kill some of the germs that can cause diarrhea.

Avoid touching your face, rubbing your nose or eyes, biting your nails between hand washing or sanitizing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”150″][vc_column_text]
