  2. Washing your hands is very important because there are many sick people this time of year and nobody wants to be sick, so wash your hands! The procedures for washing your hands is step 1:Run warm H2O. Step 2:Apply soap directly to hands. Step 3: Scrub between the phalanges gently for 20-30 seconds. Step 4:Make a definite observation that all the soap is off of your palms, fingers, and the rest of your hands. Step 5: Dry your hands.

  3. It's flu season this time of year so that's probably why it's National Handwashing Awareness Week. To wash your hands, you must first wet your hands with warm water then add a small amount of liquid soap. Second, rub your hands together until it's a soapy lather and continue for about 15 seconds. Last, dry your hands carefully.

  9. It is important this time of year to wash your hands because there is lots of sickness going on. It is important when you wash your hands to scrub your hands with lots of soap and warm water every hour. Instead of coughing into your hands you should cough into your elbow so you don't spread the germs to others. Those are ways you can stay germ free.

  10. I think that hand washing is very important this time of year because many people are getting sick and spreading viruses or bacteria. Some people don't wash their hands, leading to other people getting sick. There are four very important proceedures that you need to follow in washing your hands. First, wet your hands and apply clean liquid or bar soap. Next, you need to rub your hands together to cover all surfaces. You need to continue to scrub your hands together for 15-30 seconds, or about the lenghth of a short tune like the alphabet. At last, rinse soap well and dry your hands.

  12. You should wash your hands especially around this time of year because this is the time when you usually start getting sick. It helps to stop the spread of sickness by washing your hands frequently with soap and for a certain amount of time. You should wash your hands for around 30 seconds. Here is the website:

  13. It is so important to keep your hands clean especially this time of year because the flu is going around, and so is pink eye. The best way of washing your hands is to rub them together under warm running water, always use mild or liquid soap, dry hand with soft towel, and take the towel to turn of faucet to avoid germs, again. (Hand sanitizer can also work too, but according to Mr. Freed this only kills 98% of the germs and it is easier to come back)

  22. In the winter it is important to wash your hands because it is the cold and flue season.
    1. Consider the sink, including the faucet controls, contaminated.

    2. Avoid touching the sink.

    3. Turn water on using a paper towel and then wet your hands and wrists.

    4. Work soap into a lather.

    5. Vigorously rub together all surfaces of the lathered hands for 15 seconds. Friction helps remove dirt and microorganisms. Wash around and under rings, around cuticles, and under fingernails

    6. Rinse hands thoroughly under a stream of water. Running water carries away dirt and debris. Point fingers down so water and contamination won't drip toward elbows.

    7. Dry hands completely with a clean dry paper towel.

    8. Use a dry paper towel to turn faucet off.

    9. To keep soap from becoming a breeding place for microorganisms, thoroughly clean soap dispensers before refilling with fresh soap.

    10. When handwashing facilities are not available at a remote work site, use an appropriate antiseptic hand cleaner or antiseptic towelettes. As soon as possible, rewash hands with soap and running water.
