How should you wash your hands?
1. Turn on the water faucet
2. Wet your hands with clean, running water
3. Put soap on your hands
4. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds
by rubbing them together until the soap
becomes bubbly and make sure you:
○ Rub the soap and bubbles on all sides
of your hands, fingers, wrists, and
between your fingers
○ Clean under your fingernails; germs
can hide there!
○ You can count to 20 slowly, sing your
ABC’s, or sing the Happy Birthday song
2 times to make sure you spend
enough time washing your hands.
5. Rinse your hands with clean, running water
and make sure that you get all of the soap
off
6. Dry your hands with a clean towel or paper
towel
7. Use a clean paper towel to turn off the
faucet, if available
