We’ve been talking about the importance handwashing and the correct technique of handwashing.  So now the question is how long should we wash our hands to get an optimum result of hand washing?  Well, scientifically it is recommended to wash your hands in a minimum time of 10 second.  and In case of teaching your children, you can teach your children to sing happy birthday song twice while washing their hands. 

so the sequence of hand washing would be like this:

Wet your hands with flowing water, and apply hand soap to your palm.

Now let’s start singing

   " Happy birthday to you"                                 "happy birthday to you"                

 "Happy birthday"            "happy birthday"          "Happy birthday to you…."

Then here we go again…….

  "Happy birthday to you"                                  "happy birthday to you"

  "happy birthday"            "happy birth day"         "happy birthday to you…."

Now rinse your hands with flowing water.

Take a clean towel/hand tissue to dry it.

and don’t forget, use the tissue/towel to switch the water off.
