- Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), and apply soap.
- Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the chorus of your favorite song a couple times (see below!).
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
