How Hand Washing Reduces Health Risks
Hand-to-hand contact can spread mild conditions, such as the common cold, but also more severe or life-threatening diseases. Infectious diseases are a particular risk to the very young, the elderly, those with a pre-existing disease, and people with a compromised immune system, such as those with HIV or AIDS.

Proper Methods of Hand Washing
Although hand washing might seem like a simple task, you should follow these steps to thoroughly rid your hands of germs.

Using Soap

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are useful when soap and water are not available. In most cases, antibacterial soap is not necessary for safe, effective hand hygiene.
Remove any hand or arm jewelry you may be wearing and wet your hands with warm water. Add regular soap and rub your hands together, ensuring you have lathered all surfaces for at least 15 seconds. How long is 15 seconds? The length of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday.
Wash the front and back of your hands, as well as between your fingers and under your nails.
Rinse your hands well under warm running water, using a rubbing motion.
Wipe and dry your hands gently with a paper towel or a clean towel. Drying them vigorously can damage the skin.
Turn off the tap using the paper towel so that you do not re-contaminate your hands. When using a public bathroom, use the same paper towel to open the door when you leave.
If skin dryness is a problem, use a moisturizing lotion.
If you have sensitive skin or are in a position where you must wash your hands constantly (as a healthcare worker must), you might want to use an alcohol-based hand rub instead.

Using Alcohol-based Hand Rubs

An alcohol-based hand rub can be used if soap and water are not available.
If your hands are visibly soiled, it is best to use soap and water. If it’s not possible to wash with soap and water, use towelettes to remove the soil, then use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Use hand rubs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure your hands are dry, as wet hands will dilute the product.
Use enough product to cover all the surfaces of your hands and fingers.
Rub your hands together until the product has evaporated. If dry skin is a problem, use a moisturizing lotion.
Minimizing Your Risks
Here are further steps you can take to protect yourself and your family.

Wash your hands often, especially after coughing, sneezing or using tissues, before and after eating, before preparing food, after handling raw meat, after petting an animal, and after using the bathroom.
When you cough or sneeze, use a tissue or raise your arm up to your face and aim for your sleeve. Do not sneeze into your hand. Throw away tissues as soon as you use them
Keep the surface areas in your home and office free of germs by cleaning them. Doorknobs, light switches, telephones, and keyboards are especially important to keep clean.
If you have children, teach them good hygiene and how to wash their hands properly. Young children should be supervised while washing their hands.
If you use bar soap, keep it in a self-draining holder that can be cleaned thoroughly before a new bar is added.
Don’t use a single damp cloth to wash a group of children’s hands.
Don’t use a standing basin of water to rinse your hands.
Don’t use a common hand towel.
Don’t use sponges or non-disposable cleaning cloths unless you change them daily and launder them using detergent. Germs thrive on moist surfaces.
