How to Wash Your Hands: step-by-step guide

Washing your hands well removes germs. The whole thing takes about twenty seconds.

  1. Turn on the water and get your hands wet.

  2. Pump soap into one palm.

  3. Rub your palms together, then the backs of your hands.

  4. Scrub between your fingers, around your thumbs, and under your nails.

  5. Keep scrubbing for about twenty seconds, roughly two rounds of the happy birthday song.

  6. Rinse all the soap off under running water.

  7. Dry your hands with a towel or hand dryer and turn off the tap.
