Solid soap, because of its reusable nature, may hold bacteria

Antibacterial soap

Antibacterial soaps have been heavily promoted to a health-

conscious public. To date, there is no evidence that using
recommended antiseptics or disinfectants selects
for antibiotic-resistant organisms in [Link],
antibacterial soaps contain common antibacterial agents such
as triclosan, which has an extensive list of resistant strains of
organisms.

Warm water

Hot water that is still comfortable for washing hands is not hot
enough to kill bacteria. Bacteria grow much faster at body
temperature (37 °C). WHO considers warm soapy water to be
more effective than cold, soapy water at removing natural oils
which hold soils and bacteria. is a liquid, gel or foam generally
used to kill many viruses/bacteria/microorganisms on
the hands.

Hand sanitizer

It is a liquid, gel or foam generally used to kill

many viruses/bacteria/microorganisms on the hands. In most
settings, hand washing with soap and water is generally
preferred. Hand sanitizer is less effective at killing certain
kinds of germs, such as norovirus and Clostridium
difficile, and unlike hand washing, it cannot physically remove
harmful chemicals. People may incorrectly wipe off hand
sanitizer before it has dried, and some are less effective
because their alcohol concentrations are too low.
 Wipes

Hand washing using hand sanitizing wipes is an alternative

during traveling in the absence of soap and [Link]-
based hand sanitizer should contain at least 60% alcohol.

Demonstratio washing?
Step 1: Wet your hands. n

Make sure that you're using running water of at least 100

degrees Fahrenheit and that you've removed any jewelry (e.g.,
rings or bracelets) before you begin because they can trap
germs.

Tip: If you’re worried about losing your rings, wear them on a

chain around your neck when you’re at work, or keep them in
a ring dish near the sink.

Step 2: Apply soap to your hands.

Remove your hands from the water and use a squirt of soap to
remove soil and transient microorganisms from your skin.

Step 3: Rub your palms together.

With hands still out of the water, rub palm to palm for about
five seconds to create a rich lather.

Step 4: Rub your hands over each other.

Massage the back of your left hand over your right palm for
three seconds to spread the soap. Repeat the above process
with your left palm on the back of your right hand.

Step 5: Interlace your fingers.

Rub your palms over one another, this time interlacing your
fingers. Keeping your fingers interlaced, run the backs of your
fingers along the back of the opposing hand. Do this for three
seconds.

Step 6: Scrub your thumbs.

Rub your right thumb with your left hand, clasping it tightly
while rotating for three seconds. Repeat the above with your
left thumb.
Step 7: Rub fingertips against palms.

Using the fingers of your right hand, rub your left palm in a
circling motion for three seconds, going both clockwise and
counterclockwise. Repeat the above process with your left
fingers and right palm.

Step 8: Rinse your hands.

Once you've been cleaning for 20 to 30 seconds, rinse the soap

off your hands until the water runs clear and you don't see
suds. When you're finished, use a paper towel to turn off the
faucet. Because you've touched it with dirty hands, there's a
good chance that it's harboring the bacteria and germs you just
washed off.

Step 9: Dry your hands.

Dry your hands with paper towels or a hand dryer rather than a
 cloth towel, which collects bacteria. Also, be sure not
