Washing your hands properly is super important to stay healthy! Here's how to do it right:
-
Wet your hands: Turn on the water and wet your hands all over.
-
Soap it up: Put soap on your hands and rub them together to make lots of bubbles!
-
Scrub, scrub, scrub! Make sure you scrub everywhere for at least 20 seconds – that's about the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice! Don't forget:
- Between your fingers
- The backs of your hands
- Under your fingernails
- Your thumbs (people often forget these!)
- Your knuckles
-
Rinse them clean: Rinse all the soap off your hands under the running water.
-
Dry them well: Use a clean towel to dry your hands completely. You can also use a hand dryer if there's one.
That's it! Now you have super clean hands!
