Effective hand washing will stop those germs from entering our systems and allow you to be flu-free. Here are six easy steps to wash those germs away.

(PRWEB) November 14, 2004 -- The most efficient way to wash your hands is to use plenty of hot water and soap, and rubbing action with your hands. After wetting your hands under a faucet, apply enough soap to lather your hands with suds while constantly rubbing your hands together. Loosen any dirt from underneath your fingernails. Continue this action for at least 15 seconds.

Continue rubbing your hands while rinsing them under running water. Once your hands are "squeaky-clean" then dry them using a single-use paper towel. Turn off the faucet with your used towel - do not touch the contaminated handles with your clean fingers or hands.

Our hands contain countless germs and bacteria. Those germs enter our bodies when we touch our face, mouth or nose. Using effective hand washing, you stop those germs and bacteria from entering your system. Hand washing education and tools are the success factors of effective hand washing.
