WHY Wash Hands?

Hands are the main pathway of germ transmission. Now more so then ever before, hand hygiene is a vitally important way to avoid the transmission of harmful germs and prevent infections.

WHEN To Wash Hands?

Some of the key times to wash hands to avoid spreading germs are:

• Before, during, and after preparing food.
• Before and after eating food.
• Before and after caring for someone at home who is sick with vomiting or diarrhea.
• Before and after treating a cut or wound.

AFTER:

• Using the toilet.
• Changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet.
• Blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• Touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste.
• Handling pet food or pet treats.
• Touching garbage.

HOW to Wash Hands?

Following the Ministry of Health guidelines, we have put together key steps to effectively wash your hands:

• Wet your hands under clean running water. Use warm water if available.
• Use Surmanti Persian Lime & Lemongrass Hand Wash on your hands and wash for 20 seconds. Liquid soap is best.
• Rub hands together until the soap makes bubbles.
• Rub on both sides of both hands, in-between fingers and thumbs and round and round both hands.
• Rinse all the soap off under clean running water. Use warm water if available.
• Dry your hands all over for 20 seconds. Using a paper towel is best (or, if at home, a clean dry towel).
