Do you know the proper handwashing technique?


How long should you scrub your hands until most of the bacteria is gone? How often should you wash your hands?

First, you should be washing your hands after you eat, before you eat, after you've touched something you don't know where it came from, and if you've touched someone. Now, you are suppost to wash your hands in semi-medium hot water(if available) with soap for 20 seconds, then clean your hands with a paper towel or a wash rag thoroughly. Hope I've helped.

Wet Hands First,
Than Apply Soap,
Then Hum The ABC's to yourself twice,
Then rinse.
And you should wash your hand every time after using the toilet of course and before each meal. Hope this helped :D

You shold ALWAYS wash before EVERY meal. Scrub them for as long as it takes u to sing the alphabet and then leave the water on, dry your hands, and get a new paper towel and turn off the water.

You should also wash your hands EVERY time you come hime from a public place like a mall, resturauant, or any other place..there could be bacteria on everything you touch..in fact there is bacteria on EVERTHING

when i was in health class, we were taught the following.
use warm to hot water, apply soap to palms, washing from palms out to fingers in a circular motion, rub back of hands up to your wrists, and in between fingers. this should be done for a full minute, or longer if contaminated by blood, urine, stool, or other unknown contaminates.
