Do you have proper hand washing techniques? Keeping hands clean is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. A study conducted by the Michigan State University indicated that about 5% of people properly washed their hands long enough to eliminate infection-causing germs.  Here are a few tip that you can follow to make sure that you have the proper hand washing techniques.

1. Pre-wet your hands with clean water, turn off, and apply soap.
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together. Make sure to lather the backside of your hands, in between your fingers, and under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.
4. Rinse your hands under clean, running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry.

Hand sanitizers can also be used if soap and water is not available. Hand sanitizers are most effective when hands are not visibly dirty.
