Use cold water
For rinsing cold water is fine. The physical force of water is what carries dirt and germs down the drain.
Take 30 seconds
At least you need to lather your soap and water for 30 seconds. Less time will not eradicate germs. And vigorously rub your fingers together. Cover all areas, don’t forget to fill spaces between fingers and under fingernails.
Tissues instead of towel
Wipe it well. More you rub, more you wipe out germs. Use a clean paper towel to turn off the tap. More effective tool for dry is tissue rather than towel. Use 10 more seconds to dry. Why tissue? Why not towel? Answer is simple; the former is cheap and fresh but latter is not.
