Usually we always wash our hands quickly and sometimes without using soap. Just because we get our hands wet doesn’t mean they are clean. Below, we share the correct method of hand washing:

Apply a generous amount of soap. It can be liquid or bar.

Rub the palms of your hands with each other.

Rub the back of your right hand against the palm of your left hand, intertwining your fingers. Repeat the process with the back of the left and the palm of the right hand.

Rub your thumbs and other fingers, making rotating movements with the palm of your other hand.
