How do you use gel hand wash?

Published in Hygiene 1 min read

To use gel hand wash effectively, apply it to your hands, scrub thoroughly, and ensure complete coverage, including between fingers and under nails.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Apply the gel: Dispense a sufficient amount of gel hand wash onto the palm of one hand. The amount should be enough to cover all surfaces of both hands.
  2. Rub hands together: Vigorously rub your hands together, palm to palm.
  3. Interlace fingers: Interlock your fingers and rub the back of your fingers on the opposing palm.
  4. "Motorcycle wash": Rub each thumb clasped in the opposite hand using a rotational movement ("motorcycle wash"), ensuring you clean both thumbs.
  5. Clean fingernails: Rub the fingertips of each hand in the opposite palm to clean under the nails.
  6. Continue scrubbing: Continue rubbing your hands together until the gel has dried completely. Do not wipe off or rinse.

The whole process should take approximately 20-30 seconds to ensure thorough disinfection. The hand sanitizer needs to be completely dry to be fully effective.
