We have heard time and again that prevention is better than cure. And one of the best ways to prevent spread of germs and harmful bacteria is to wash your hands. Hand washing is very effective in reducing the chances of an infection break-out. Even if you wear protective gloves while carrying cleaning job or waste disposal or emptying of trash bins, you must always wash your hands with a good quality cleansing solution.
Hand washing is all the more important for children. Since children spend a lot of time outside they are more prone to get infections and diseases. You must encourage them to wash their hands whenever they come back home from outside. Hand washing would wash off infectious germs and bacteria and would prevent them from falling sick.
Here are some tips for effective hand washing:-
Wet your hands with warm running water before applying soap or hand wash.
Add soap and rub your hands together to make lather.
Now wash the front and back of your hands, the space in between your fingers and under the nails.
Continue rubbing your hands all over for at least 15-20 seconds.
Rinse your hands thoroughly under warm running water.
Use clean towel or hand dryer to dry your hands.
Though hand washing is the best means of keeping your hands clean and in preventing spread of infections and diseases, you must always carry a good alcohol based hand sanitizer, gel or antibacterial hand wipes in case water and soap are not present.
