Stop everything. Turns out you’ve probably been washing your hands wrong all this time and they could currently be riddled with germs. it’s a wonder we’ve managed to survive this long.

According to the Sklar Brothers most of us are not washing our hands properly after using the loo. it’s important to spend at least 20 seconds washing your hands after you’ve been to the toilet – something only five percent of us actually do, according to a Michigan State University study. Michigan State University discovered that 23 percent of people don’t use soap when washing their hands after using the loo, while 10% don’t wash their hands at all. The Sklar Brothers say we should focus more attention on our fingertips, since they are likely to be the most dirty. It’s also important to use soap (a quick rinse is not enough to kill germs) and use a paper towel rather than hand dryers to dry hands off thoroughly - wet hands are worse than dry hands for spreading bacteria, and dryers don’t tend to get hands completely dry.
