There is only one effective way to wash your hands?

 Hands often act as culture samples of disease-causing pathogens from person to person.  You can humans or animals and contaminated foods or water can transport bacteria.  Hand washing with soap works by interrupting the transmission of disease.  Proper hand washing and drying includes using all the right products.  For example Tissue and towel products are integral in helping maintain clean and hygienic surroundings, at your home, at the office or anywhere else you may hang your hat.  Have you ever seen the dispensers now showing up at all your local grocery stores? You bet, wipe off the handle of the cart, I do.  But washing your hands includes using soap.  Researchers from the University of Michigan found that Antibacterial soaps are no more effective than plain soap for killing disease causing germs.  Studies also show that drying your hands with paper towels significantly reduces the presence of bacteria that is commonly found on your hands.  That makes sense; you are the one and only using that towel making it an important part of the bacteria reduction process.

 There are minimum resources you will need in order to wash your hands effectively.

Here are some of them:

• You will need a Sink.
• Suitable treated and/or filtered warm water source.
• A “Hands-free” paper towel dispenser.
• Soap that is non-irritating or sensitizing.

Now let’s look at the actual process of Hand Washing:

• You will need to moisten your hands with warm water.
• Using a Total Hand Washing time, including lathering with soap of 15 to 20 seconds.

After your Hand Washing you will need to:

• Rinse well in warm water at an adequate flow rate. During the rinse, hands and fingertips should be positioned down into the sink, with the rinse progressing from elbow or forearm to fingertip. This way, water is drained from the fingertips into the sink.
• It’s important to remove all soap residues from hands during rinsing, since prolonged exposure to soap components can cause irritation.

Last but not least you need to dry off your hands with:

• Single-use paper towels, ideally from a hands-free dispenser, this has been proven above all other methods to effectively remove most unwanted germs and loose skin cells.
• Dry hands thoroughly, since wet hands can pick up and transfer more contamination.

Key Success Factor: The Hand Washing sink must be well maintained, with regular cleanup and replenishment of soap and paper towels.
