Proper hand-washing techniques
Good hand-washing techniques include washing your hands with soap and water or. Antimicrobial wipes or towelettes can be just as effective as soap and water in cleaning your hands but aren't as good as alcohol-based sanitizers... soap and water is ultimately the best. Hand sanitizers and Antimicrobial wipes should not replace soap and water.

Antibacterial soaps have become increasingly popular in recent years. However, these soaps are no more effective at killing germs than is regular soap. Using antibacterial soaps may lead to the development of bacteria that are resistant to the products' antimicrobial agents — making it even harder to kill these germs in the future. In general, regular soap is fine. The combination of scrubbing your hands with soap — antibacterial or not — and rinsing them with water loosens and removes bacteria from your hands.

Proper hand washing with soap and water

Follow these instructions for washing with soap and water:

Wet your hands with warm, running water and apply liquid soap or use clean bar soap.

Lather well.

Rub your hands vigorously together for at least 20 to 30 seconds.

Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.

Rinse well.

Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel.

Use a towel to turn off the faucet.

Have a great day.
