Q. Is washing hands with soap more effective than just using water?
A. Absolutely! Washing your hands with soap is much more effective than just using water. If you do not have access to soap, rinsing hands with water is better than not doing anything, but to get dirt and germs from your hands, it is much better to use soap when washing.
Q. When should you wash your hands?
A. You should make sure you wash your hands frequently — especially after going to the bathroom, or changing a child’s diaper, and before preparing or eating food.
The U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends that you wash your hands after touching pet food, after handling an animal, after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose, and after touching garbage.
Q. What is the correct way to wash hands?
A. You should use soap and running water. First you wet your hands, then put soap all over your hands and scrub well (palms, back of hands, in between your fingers, and under your fingernails) for at least 20 seconds, and then rinse well and dry using a clean towel. Some people say that you should sing “Happy Birthday” twice, to make sure you are washing for a long enough time.
Q. What water temperature should I use to wash my hands?
A. Generally warm water is better to wash your hands with, especially when you are preparing food.
Q. Are hand sanitizers as effective as be used instead of handwashing with soap?
Hand sanitizers can be used in situations when you don’t have access to water and soap. But handwashing with soap is always better because hand sanitizers do not remove dirt.
Q. Bar soap vs. liquid hand soap, which is better?
This is a common question providing lots of debate about which form of soap is better. Studies showed that bar soaps that were used often by multiple people contained more potentially harmful microbes.
When you wash your hands with water and a bar of soap, the fats in the soap break down and lather. Since water can’t remove all of the bacteria, some of the bacteria remains on the bar of soap when you are done. Rinsing off the bar will get rid of most of that bacteria. Bar soaps in public places can have lots of bacteria on the bar from lots of people. Of course, less people would be using a bar of soap in your home, so there would be less bacteria on a bar of soap at your home.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends that liquid soap reduces the risk of spreading germs. But, refilling liquid hand soap and using the same soap dispenser can also spread germs. Therefore, you should throw away the liquid hand soap dispenser after using it.
Some people say that you should use a combination of liquid and bar soap, but the CDC does not think that offers consumers any additional benefits.
