A new study on cleaning habits has revealed differences between the importance they give women to have clean hands with respect to men. And that between 6,000 the number of respondents who do not wash their hands regularly is overwhelming among women, but concern among men: only 66% of male participants stated this activity as a regular practice.

It is very important to wash your hands regularly, especially before handling or eating food or touching other people, (and if they are sick or weak). Dirty hands, even though at first glance do not seem to be, are a source of transmission of infections which should not be overlooked, viruses, bacteria, etc, rampant in the hands of those who refuse to pass them by soap and water.
So today let's give them a number of useful tips, make no mistake, are beneficial for your health and that of those around him:

Hands should be washed regularly, before and after eating, when you get home, after sneezing or coughing, if it has touched a surface in the public domain, such as a bar or a public urinal, and so on.

And you have to wash them thoroughly under a faucet and soap, letting it act on their hands for at least 20 minutes. Nor must we forget the hygiene or nails or the inside of the fingers, which must take special care. It needs to be dry with paper towels (if you can use another towel to turn off the tap and out of the bathroom, even better, especially if you are in a public restroom).

Avoid touching your face unless strictly necessary, since both in the mouth and nose are easily installed many germs that then with the help of hands, spread rapidly. To touch the face is advisable to wash your hands before and after.

If possible, before the soap is better to use disinfectant, (with a minimum of 60% alcohol or not effective). In addition, it irritates the skin less than a constant washing and prolonged in time.

As for the so-called "antibacterial soaps," are not really effective but when it comes to bacteria, so, for example, are not effective against the spread of colds because it was not caused by bacteria but by a virus. It really is just the type of soap is used while the cleaning process is carried out properly.
