How/When to Wash
When washing hands with soap and water:
- Wet your hands with clean running water and apply soap.
Use warm water if it is available.
- Rub hands together to make a lather and scrub all
surfaces.
- Continue rubbing hands for 20 seconds. Need a timer?
Imagine singing "Happy Birthday" twice through to a friend!
- Rinse hands well under running water
- Dry your hands using a paper towel or air dryer. If
possible, use your paper towel to turn off the faucet
When using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer:
- Apply product to the palm of one hand
- Rub hands together
- Rub the product over all surfaces of hands and fingers
until hands are dry.
When should you wash your hands?

gone to the bathroom
- Before and after tending to someone who is sick
