1. Wet your hands with warm water and squirt liquid soap or rub a bar of soap onto your hands. It doesn't need to be antibacterial soap to work. (If you don't have access to soap and water, you may use a antibacterial hand sanitizer gel or DEBS sanitizer foam which kills germs by drying them out.)
    
2. Rub your hands vigorously together and scrub all surfaces, including wrists and under nails. Rubbing pulls the dirt and the oily soils free from your skin. The soap lather suspends both the dirt and germs trapped inside and helps wash them away.
    
3. Continue rubbing for a least 15 to 30 seconds. Studies show it is the length of time spent washing, not the type of soap, that makes the difference.
    
4. Rinse well and dry your hands.
    
5. Use a paper towel to turn off the water and open the door to a public bathroom.

Note: To prevent chapping, use mild soap, pat rather than rub hands dry, and apply moisturizing lotion liberally and frequently.
