Steps to wash your hands
Step 1. Wet your hands with water.
Step 2. Add soap and rub your hands together.
Step 3. Scrub for about 20 seconds. Get the backs, between your fingers, and under your nails.
Step 4. Rinse the soap off with water.
Step 5. Dry your hands with a clean towel.
No sink nearby?
When you can't get to a sink, hand sanitizer works for a quick clean. Rub it in until your hands are dry. Soap and water are still best when you can use them.
