Hand washing is defined as the vigorous, brief

with water.

Handwashing with Soap

Washing hands prevents illnesses and spread

of infections to others
Handwashing with soap removes germs from hands.This helps
prevent infections because:
People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing
it.
Germs from unwashed hands can get into foods and drinks while people
prepare or consume them.
Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to other objects, like
handrails, table tops, or toys, and then transferred to another persons
hands.
Removing germs through handwashing therefore helps prevent diarrhea and
respiratory infections and may even help prevent skin and eye infections .
