How to Wash Your Hands

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, people are realizing the importance of washing their hands. Here are some tips to make sure your hands get as clean as possible.

1. Wet your hands with clean running water. Turn off the tap.
2. Apply soap to your hands and lather them vigorously by rubbing your hands together with the soap.
3. Be sure your entire hands are covered in soap suds - including your wrists, under your fingernails, and between your fingers.
4. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.
5. Turn on the tap and rinse your hands well under clean running water to remove the soap, germs, and dirt.
6. Be sure you dry your hands thoroughly with a clean towel, or let a hand dryer blow them dry. Wiping them on your clothes gets them dirty again, and touching things with wet hands spreads germs more easily.

Stay clean and healthy!
