With the kids getting ready to go back to school this is an important thing to remember. Be sure your little ones are washing their hands correctly.According to the Mayo Clinic the following is the correct way to wash your hands:
Proper hand washing with soap and water
Follow these instructions for washing with soap and water:
* Wet your hands with warm, running water and apply liquid soap or use clean bar soap. Lather well.
* Rub your hands vigorously together for at least 15 to 20 seconds.
* Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.
* Rinse well.
* Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel.
* Use a towel to turn off the faucet.
That last step is especially important
when using a public sink.
