washing hands


Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today - from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt. Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for a germ on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands.


so the best times we should wash our hands :


-before eating or touching food (like if you're helping cook or bake, for example)
-after using the bathroom
-after blowing your nose or coughing
-after touching pets or other animals
-after playing outside
-before and after visiting a sick relative or friend


These steps is how to get prefectly clean:


1-Use warm water (not cold or hot) when you wash your hands


2-Use whatever soap you like.Antibacterial soaps are OK to use, but regular soap works fine.


3-Work up some lather on both sides of your hands, your wrists, and between your fingers. Don't forget to wash around your nails. This is one place germs like to hide. Wash for about 10 to 15 seconds


4-Rinse and dry well with a clean towel
