Mistakes made when washing hands

1. Wash your hands without soap
You know what, it turns out that water can only kill up to 10% of germs  ! If you use soap, 80% of germs can die, because in the soap there are alkaline substances that can kill germ cells. When compared, the use of liquid soap is better than bar soap, because germs are easier to hide in soap bars that have been used.

2. Just wash your palm only
Don't just wash the palms. Because it turns out that germs also like to hide between nails and fingers, you know! So, make sure your baby wash your hands thoroughly.

3. Don't dry your hands afterwards
Wash your hands the most correct way, it will be in vain if afterwards the hands are not dried! Remember, germs like to be quiet and thrive in a humid place, so always remind your child to dry his hands after washing his hands.

It is best to dry your hands using a clean towel or toilet paper, instead of using a dryer. Why? Because not all surfaces are completely dry, so make sure your baby's hands are dry, after washing their hands.

• Wash your hands too fast

According to a study from Michigan State University,  that about 95% of people rinse their hands in a short time, without ensuring cleanliness. If it's like that, the hand might still store bad germs, like viruses or bacteria. Ideally, you wash your hands for 20 seconds, yes!
