How to wash your hands properly

Before washing your hands, remove your rings: they are certainly contaminated and may be an inconvenience for effective washing.

Only 10% of French people wash their hands before a meal and only 3% do it properly.
Wash your hands with which soap

A liquid soap that remains pure without contact with the environment is recommended.
Lather the soap

For one minute, (a 10-second soap does not remove all bacteria) insist on the top of the hand, palm between fingers and fingers, then rinse for at least 30 seconds.
Wipe your hands

In public places, wipe your hands preferably with disposable paper.

ATTENTION

In public places, the hot-air blower has the disadvantage of fixing bacteria that have not been removed to the wash and loading air from microbes in the room.
It is therefore to be avoided.
