The Scrub Down: Good Hand Washing Technique
- Wet your hands with clean water
- Lather your hands with soap, including the backs, under nails and between fingers
- Scrub hands for at least 20 seconds, long enough to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice
- Rinse hands thoroughly
- Dry hands with a clean towel or air dry
What About Hand Sanitizer?
- When soap and water aren’t available, use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol
- Sanitizer can reduce the number of microbes on the skin, but it will not eliminate all types of germs
- Hands should not be visibly dirty or greasy; soap and water work better in this case
- Soap and water are still the best way to clean hands
