1. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread because of infrequent or improper hand washing, as per the CDC cleaning hands in a thorough manner will help prevent the spread of germs.

2. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap and apply soap.

3. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.

4. Scrub your handsfor at least 20 seconds.

5. Rinse your hands well under running water. Do not use a basin of water to rinse your hands.

6. Dry you hands using a clean towel or air day them.
