How to wash your hands

Your hands are covered in more bactera and germs than you would imagine. It often happens that we are not aware of the materials that we may have on our hands that are "harmful" to our health.

That's why we must wash them thoroughly, to keep them clean.

 

 

How?

  • With lukewarm water, because warm water disinfects better.
  • Wet your hands before using the soap
  • Rub your hands together for at least 10 seconds making sure you haven't missed a spot. Wash them up to the wrists.
  • Rinse your hands carefully, without wasting any water (remember that this commodity is in short supply) and remove all traces of soap.
  • Turn off the tap using a paper towel or trying to touch it as little as possible.
  • Dry your hands using a clean paper towel..


Remember

  • You should ALWAYS wash your hands after using the toilet (and sometimes even before).
  • And before preparing food or eating.
