Handwashing basics. Get the upper hand over germs. Washing with soap and water. Wet your hands with warm water and apply soap. Rub your hands together and scrub them, front and back. Include your wrists and fingernails. Scrub your hands for 20 secodns- about the time it takes to sing the Happy Birthday song twice. Rinse your hands well under running water. Washing with alcohol based gel. Apply a nickel sized amount in the palm of one hand. Rub the gel all over your hands, wrist, and fingers for 20 seconds. Keep rubbing until your hands are dry.
