How to wash your hands to prevent spreading flu, Coronavirus and other illnesses - TODAYshow
So what's the proper way to clean hands? It involves more than a splash of water and a pat dry on a hand towel. Experts recommend that people wash their hands for a full 20 seconds to clean off bacteria. They suggest tracking the time by singing. Most people recommend “Happy Birthday” or the alphabet song for children, but McGee said any song will do.
He recommends using warm water and soap, though the temperature of the water doesn’t matter that much when it comes to eliminating germs. Some people think antibacterial soap is better, but using it all the time can backfire. McGee warns against relying too heavily on it. Drying hands with a paper towel or hand dryer might be slightly better than using a reusable hand towel, which can harbor some dirt and bacteria. But in any case, it’s important to dry the hands thoroughly. Wet hands make a perfect environment for germs to flourish.
