Hand washing tips
1. Wet your hands and apply liquid, bar, or powder soap.
2. Rub hands together vigorously to make a lather and scrub all surfaces.
3. Continue for 20 seconds - Imagine singing Happy Birthday all the way through…twice!
4. Rinse hands well under running water.
5. Dry your hands using a paper towel or air dryer.
6. If possible, use your paper towel to turn off the faucet.
REMEMBER: If soap and water aren’t available, use an alcohol-based wipe, hand gel or hand sanitizing spray.
