Keeping your hands clean is extremely important for a variety of reasons. The first is because clean hands look and feel great, and will help you to avoid transferring dirt and other debris to other areas. The second, and likely more important, is because keeping your hands clean is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs so that you do not get sick nearly as often. The best way to keep your hands clean is to make sure that you are washing your hands with soap frequently throughout the day. At a minimum, you should wash your hands prior to eating and after using the bathroom. The soap you use should be a high-quality soap that is able to wash away dirt and debris as well as any germs that may be present. Make sure to use plenty of soap and to rub your hands together vigorously while washing for 30-60 seconds to get the best results. When washing your hands, you will want to get them wet with warm water first, and then apply the soap. If you are using bar soap, you can rub the bar along your hands repeatedly until you have a good lather. It is best to not only wash your hands, but also at least several inches of your wrists as well to keep everything nice and clean. Of course, you will need to make sure that you take extra care to wash all around and in between each of your fingers for the best clean possible.
