In 2005, the American Society for Microbiology (USA) reported that while 91% of American adults say they always wash their hands after using public restrooms, in actuality only 83% actually did so. Women were more likely to wash their hands (90%) as compared to men (75%). The same survey also revealed these other lackluster handwashing habits:
- Only 21% of men and women say they always wash their hands after handling money
- Only 24% of men and 39% of women say they always wash their hands after coughing or sneezing
The technique for proper handwashing per the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention involves these steps:
1. Wet your hands and apply liquid or clean bar soap. Place the bar soap on a rack that allows it to drain.
2. Scrub all surfaces -- including wrists, palms, backs of hands, fingers, under the fingernails, and between fingers. Rub your hands vigorously together for 10-15 seconds.
3. Rinse well with warm water.
4. Dry hands with a clean or disposable towel. Pat the skin rather than rubbing, to avoid chapping or cracking.
