with soap? Hand soap?

First of all, I don't know if you are as confused as I am. This epidemic prevention propaganda tells you to wash your hands frequently, and it is best to wash your hands with soap and hand lotion. Then, do you use soap or other surfactants for washing your hands? Rinse with pure water What's the difference?

Maybe I am the only one who is stupid enough to think about this issue, but I think that assuming that there is a relatively scientific theory or statement to testify to this matter, it will definitely enhance everyone's concept of hand washing. After all, I haven't thought about this issue yet. I haven't washed my hands a few times because of the propaganda, especially if my hands are not particularly dirty.

In fact, the answer is very simple. I don’t know if you have ever washed the dishes. If you go to the sink of your house and look at it now, if there is no accident, you will see that there may be some stains around the sink. These traces It comes from a mixture of water, dirt and grease, and because it contains some grease or other dirty ingredients, these dirt is not so easy to be taken away by clean water!

And our hands are the same. The hands are the most common parts of the human body that are in contact with external objects every day. Every day, they come into contact with different objects and are contaminated with various substances, including some organic substances, oils and other dirt. In addition, the hands themselves will also Sweaty hands, an environment that provides the conditions for bacteria and viruses to attach and thrive, so even if we think we're unaware we've touched something dirty.

The principle of sterilization of hand soap or soap

There are several reasons why hand washing can achieve the effect of epidemic prevention:

1. Effectively remove dirt:
   As mentioned earlier, the dirt on the hands may be connected to different items, and some dirt, grease, organic matter, etc. may accumulate. Today, these items can be effectively separated by surfactants such as soap and hand soap. water away.
2. Destroy the breeding environment of bacteria:

Handwashing Tips

So now that you know the importance of hand washing, how to wash it is the key. The first is the seven hand washing styles of the Ministry of Welfare and Welfare : "inside, outside, clip, bow, big, stand, and finish". By the way, I also found a video for everyone (actually there are Many, I picked Health 2.0)

wash hands + sing

Another little trick, very few people can really wash their hands for 30 seconds, so there is a way to extend the time of the washing process, and the easiest way is to "sing", everyone may sing one or two times. For a nursery rhyme, as long as you sing the chorus of the nursery rhyme twice when washing your hands, it generally lasts for more than 20 seconds, which can greatly improve the effect of your handwashing. You can try it! (I tried two tigers myself, the time is really about the same)
