How often do you wash your hands? Well, regular washing of hands should not be limited to only when eating or after using the bathroom.  Every time you enter the house after a long day’s work or after visiting the supermarket or your neighbor, wash your hands with soap and water and rinse them thoroughly.  Regular washing of hands will ensure that any germs that have been passed on surfaces and by people do not get into the house. It is especially important to wash after using the toilet or before having a meal.
