Proper hand washing technique can help prevent over 1 million deaths per year from diseases according to the CDC. Correct hand washing involves wetting hands, applying soap, lathering and scrubbing for 20 seconds, rinsing, and drying thoroughly. Scrubbing is the most important step for removing germs and bacteria. When soap and water are unavailable, hand sanitizers can be an acceptable alternative if the sanitizer is rubbed thoroughly over all hand surfaces until dry. Proper hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

The document discusses the importance of hand hygiene for preventing the spread of germs. It recommends washing hands with soap and water after activities like using the bathroom, eating, handling money, caring for someone who is sick, or cleaning. When hands are not visibly dirty, alcohol-based hand rubs can be used as they are faster and reduce bacteria. Regular hand cleaning through washing with soap and water or using alcohol-based rubs is one of the best ways to prevent catching or spreading germs.Hand hygiene

Hands should be washed with soap and water for at least 15 seconds, which is about the time it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice.

Hand washing is one of the most important elements of infection control and aims to remove microorganisms from the hands. The WHO guidelines describe five key situations where hand washing is required: before touching a patient, before clean procedures, after risk of exposure to body fluids, after touching a patient, and after touching the patient's surroundings. There are two main cleansing agents - alcohol-based formulations and soap and water - and the same hand washing technique is used for both.
