how do you find out your hands are cleaned?

Answer 1

Omg they will never be completely clean. Unless you have washed for hours. There will always be bacteria, oil, and dirt! But if you want you can swab your hand and grow it on agar to see what grows ok!

Answer 2

* What is the best way to clean your hands?
Hands can be cleaned in several ways, all of which are effective in killing germs and will help to prevent the spread of infection.

- Traditional hand washing, using soap and warm water - this is an easy option if you have access to a hand basin. Please tell the staff if there is no soap or hand towels available in the toilets or bathrooms and these will be replaced.

- Using an alcohol hand rub or gel - you might see staff using these and we have now placed dispensers at the entrances to all wards and at bedsides. These are a good option if you cannot get to a hand basin and they are very effective in killing the germs carried on hands. They are easy to use, even on sensitive skin. Please encourage your visitors to use the alcohol hand rub or gel when they enter and leave the ward - all you do is rub the gel onto dry hands and let it evaporate.

Please note: alcohol hand rubs do not replace the need for hand washing when hands are dirty.

Answer 3

"Did you wash your hands?"

How many times did you hear that today? Probably a lot. But why are adults so hung up on hand washing? Why are they so in love with lather?

Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today - from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt. Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for a germ on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands.

You can't wear rubber gloves all day long, but you can wash your hands so those germs don't get a chance to make you or someone else sick. When germs go down the drain, they can't make anyone sick.

So when are the best times to wash your hands?

before eating or touching food (like if you're helping cook or bake, for example)
after using the bathroom
after blowing your nose or coughing
after touching pets or other animals
after playing outside
after visiting a sick relative or friend
Now you have the when and the why of hand washing. But did you know that a lot of people don't know how to get their paws perfectly clean? The next time you're told to step up to the sink and scrub up, remember these handy hints:

Use warm water (not cold or hot) when you wash your hands.

Use whatever soap you like. Some soaps come in cool shapes and colors or smell nice, but whatever kind that gets you scrubbing is the kind you should use. Antibacterial soaps are OK to use, but regular soap works fine.

Work up some lather on both sides of your hands, your wrists, and between your fingers. Don't forget to wash around your nails. This is one place germs like to hide. Wash for about 10 to 15 seconds - about how long it takes to sing "Happy Birthday." (Sing it quickly two times or just once if you go nice and slow.)

Rinse and dry well with a clean towel.
