How to wash your hands:

You should wash your hands for 20 seconds, which is the same length of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday. This will also help put yourself in a good mood and make time go quicker. Depending on your favourite type of music, other song options include, the chorus of Raspberry Beret by Prince, or the chorus of Love on Top by Beyoncé. - Don’t forget your thumbs
Good handwashing should ensure every part of your hands are washed and cleaned. The NHS have put together a handy picture guide and video that shows the best way to ensure you don’t miss any spots. Watch this NHS video to help visualise the process. - Use the best option
