Why Is Hand Washing Important?

Washing your hands is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs. It
protects you and others from illnesses like colds, flu, and even more serious
infections.

When Should You Wash Your Hands?


• Before eating or handling food
• After using the toilet
• After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
• After touching garbage

Steps to Proper Hand Washing


1. Wet your hands with clean, running water.
2. Apply soap and lather well — don't forget between fingers and under
nails!
3. Scrub for at least 20 seconds (you can sing “Happy Birthday” twice!).
4. Rinse well under clean, running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them

Fun Fact:
Washing your hands can reduce the spread of diseases by up to 40%!

🧼 Remember:
Soap and water are your first defense against many sicknesses. Make hand washing a
habit — it’s simple, quick, and powerful.
