How to wash hands the right way

Curious about the best hand washing procedure? Simply follow these few steps to ensure squeaky clean hands every time!

 

1.Wet hands

First wet your hands clean by letting normal tap water run over them. You can use either warm or cold water whichever you prefer. You can either use a soap or a good hand wash.
 

2.Create a lather

 Rub the soap solution well in between your fingers. Rub the back of your hands, in between your fingers and underneath your nails.
 

3.Scrub well 

Scrub your hands together for sometime. Not sure about the time? Sing the “Happy birthday” song twice in your mind! Now this should not take more than 30 secs.
 

4.Rinse well

Under clean running water, rinse your hands well.
 

5.Dry your hands

With a clean towel, dry your hands well. Alternatively, you can also air dry them. Avoid using public dryers.
 

Why use handwashes?

Sure you can go ahead with soaps but in public places a soap bar is being shared by numerous people which is a major health hazard especially with the current pandemic situation. That is why it is safer to use handwash instead of soaps.
