Hand Hygiene

Do you know the number one way to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy? It’s as simple as washing your hands!

• Take time to use the most effective hand-washing techniques.
• Hands should be moistened under clean, running water.
• Apply soap, and then rub your hands together to create a hearty lather.
• Scrub all surfaces of the hands for 20 seconds. How long is that? Imagine singing “Happy Birthday” two times through and that should be a good gauge.
• Rinse your hands under running water and dry them with a paper towel.
• Turn the faucet off using the paper towel, and then toss it out.
• Keeping hands clean is the best defense against unwanted germs.
