October 15, 2008 is Global Handwashing Day so I've decided to repost an article about washing your hands twice. The vision of Global Handwashing Day is a local and global culture of handwashing with soap. We wash our hands with soap and water but did you know that very few wash their hands with soap at the critical occassions?
As mommies, we always remind our kids to wash their hands properly. Some new studies reveal that the best way to outsmart germs is to wash hands TWICE. A single washing removes less than 30% of bacteria. A second round of scrubbing and sudsing slashes bacteria levels by 92%. So moms..... let's teach our kids to wash their hands twice to shield them from illnesses caused by germs.
