Less than half of the people "wash their hands with soap" after finishing the toilet? Such a shocking survey result was announced by the Creative Survey on July 5th (*). "Dirt on your hands" that is difficult to remove just by washing with water. However, it seems that many people don't care much because they can't see it.

It took 1 minute and 25 seconds to complete the series of operations! I usually take about 40 seconds, so it felt very long. But thanks to that, I feel that my fingertips and wrists have become shiny.

According to the site, the condition of the towel that wipes your hands is also important. If you continue to use it, bacteria will increase and you may get your washed hands dirty. I also want to keep in mind the frequent replacement of towels and handkerchiefs.

This is the time when hot days continue and food poisoning is likely to occur. Even if you don't care about dirt on your hands, why not take some time to wash your hands by referring to the above procedure? The time you spend soaking your hands in cold water and soap bubbles is also quite comfortable.
