2. Avoid touching the sink.
3. Turn water on using a paper towel and then wet your hands and wrists.

remove dirt and microorganisms. Wash around and under rings, around cuticles, and
under fingernails

debris. Point fingers down so water and contamination won't drip toward elbows.

9. To keep soap from becoming a breeding place for microorganisms, thoroughly clean
soap dispensers before refilling with fresh soap.

antiseptic hand cleaner or antiseptic towelettes. As soon as possible, rewash hands
with soap and running water.
