Did you wash your hands well enough?

Did you wash your hands well enough?

The hygiene test for happy hands.

Why test? Your hands come into contact with a lot of bacteria one day. For example, if you don't wash your hands properly, you can even catch a cold or salmonella.

The test
Sing the song Happy birthday to you twice while washing your hands with soap.

The result
Have you been washing your hands a lot longer than usual? Then there is something to improve in the field of hand hygiene. It is important to wash well between your palms, fingertips and between your fingers. Don't forget your thumb:it is often skipped during the wash.

This may help
Is there only a blower in the toilet and no paper towel? Then move your hands as little as possible when you keep them underneath. By rubbing your hands, bacteria that were hiding in the pores come to the surface. As a result, you may walk away with dirtier hands than when you entered.
