How to wash hands and when you should wash hands
Washing your hands the right way can stop the spread of illness-causing
bacteria. Here is how to wash hands:
Wet your hands with warm or cold running water and apply soap.
Rub your hands together to make a lather and scrub them well.
Be sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers,
and under your nails. Bacteria can hide out here too!
Continue rubbing hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum
'Happy Birthday' from beginning to end twice.
