6 Steps to Effective Hand Washing
Posted by amanda c on October 13, 2009.
October the 15th this year is Global Handwashing Day
Although people around the world wash their hands with water, very few wash their hands with soap at the critical occasions. More handwashing with soap means lower rates of infectious disease: Clean Hands Save Lives!
In light of this, here is the standard 6-step guide to effective handwashing.
1) Wet hands and apply soap. Rub palm-to-palm until you work up a rich lather.
2) Run Each palm thouroughly over the backs of the other hand
3) Rub thouroughly between the fingers of each hand
4) Rub your hands with the fingers together
5) Rub around each of your thumbs
6) Rub your fingertips in circles on each palm. Then rinse thouroughly and dry
At adcocks we have a range of soaps and dispensers, including antibacterial soap, Hyfoam foaming soap and tablet soap
