Handwashing and Hand Sanitizer Use
at Home, at Play, and Out and About
CS270631
Germs are everywhere! They can get onto hands and items we touch during
daily activities and make you sick. Cleaning hands at key times with soap and
water or hand sanitizer is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid
getting sick and spreading germs to those around you.
There are important differences between washing hands with soap and water
and cleaning them with hand sanitizer. For example, alcohol-based hand
sanitizers don’t kill ALL types of germs, such as a stomach bug called norovirus,
some parasites, and Clostridium difficile, which causes severe diarrhea. Hand
sanitizers also may not remove harmful chemicals, such as pesticides and
heavy metals like lead. Handwashing reduces the amounts of all types of germs,
pesticides, and metals on hands. Knowing when to clean your hands and which
method to use will give you the best chance of preventing sickness.
When should I use?
Soap and Water
• Before, during, and after preparing food
• Before eating food
• Before and after caring for someone
who is sick
• Before and after treating a cut or wound
• After using the bathroom, changing
diapers, or cleaning up a child who
has used the bathroom
• After blowing your nose, coughing,
or sneezing
• After touching an animal, animal food or
treats, animal cages, or animal waste
• After touching garbage
• If your hands are visibly dirty or greasy
Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizer
• Before and after visiting a friend or a loved
one in a hospital or nursing home, unless
the person is sick with Clostridium difficile
(if so, use soap and water to wash hands).
• If soap and water are not available, use an
alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains
at least 60% alcohol, and wash with soap
and water as soon as you can.
* Do NOT use hand sanitizer if your hands are visibly
dirty or greasy: for example, after gardening,
playing outdoors, or after fishing or camping
(unless a handwashing station is not available).
Wash your hands with soap and water instead.

How should I use?
Soap and Water
• Wet your hands with clean running water
(warm or cold) and apply soap.
• Lather your hands by rubbing them
together with the soap.
• Scrub all surfaces of your hands, including
the palms, backs, fingers, between
your fingers, and under your nails. Keep
scrubbing for 20 seconds. Need a timer?
Hum the “Happy Birthday” song twice.
• Rinse your hands under clean,
running water.
• Dry your hands using a clean towel or
air dry them.
Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizer
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60% alcohol. Supervise
young children when they use hand sanitizer
to prevent swallowing alcohol, especially in
schools and childcare facilities.
• Apply. Put enough product on hands to
cover all surfaces.
• Rub hands together, until hands feel dry.
This should take around 20 seconds.
Note: Do not rinse or wipe off the hand
sanitizer before it’s dry; it may not work
as well against germs.
