WHEN TO USE HAND SANITIZER
When soap and clean, running water aren’t available, use an alcohol-based -invalid data- that contains at least 60% alcohol. Hand sanitizer quickly reduces the number of microbes on hands in some situations but does not eliminate all types of germs.
PROPER HANDWASHING TECHNIQUE
STEP
Wet your hands using clean, running water when available.
Lather the front and back of hands, between fingers, and under fingernails with Safeguard™ soap.
Scrub hands together for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Sing the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice.
Rinse hands under clean, running water.
Dry hands completely with a clean towel, or air dry.
