Step 4- Make sure to rub the area between the fingers one by one, as well as each finger individually one by one. Do not forget to wash the nails. Step 5- Hand washing should last between 45 and 60 seconds. Step 6- Rinse hands with clean water and dry them with a clean or single-use towel. Drying is essential as germs spread more easily on wet.
