How to Wash Your Hands
Learn more about when and how to wash your hands, the importance of using soap and water, and what to do if soap and clean running water are not available. Whether you are at home, work, traveling, or already sick, proper hand hygiene can protect you, your family, and those around you. In this guide, we walk you through how and why you should wash your hands, using official guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adapted for Bien soaps.
Why Wash Your Hands?
Handwashing is incredibly important. Washing your hands reduces the number of germs on them, lowering your chances of getting sick. Communities that practice regular handwashing have 23-40% fewer cases of diarrhea and 16-21% fewer cases of colds and respiratory infections.
The benefits of handwashing aren’t limited to protecting yourself from illnesses. Regular handwashing also reduces the chance of spreading germs to others, which is especially important when you are sick or near vulnerable individuals, such as babies or the elderly.
When to Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands regularly to prevent the flu and other illnesses. This means you should wash them:
- After using the bathroom
- After sneezing, coughing, or blowing your nose
- After handling garbage or taking out the trash
- After touching animals or pet food
- Before eating
- Before, during, and after preparing food
- Before and after caring for someone who is sick
- After changing diapers or cleaning up after someone else
