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.
