Get Healthy on Global Handwashing Day – Think Soap, Not Soup

When was the last time you washed your hands? It’s cold and flu season and, as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So soap now beats chicken soup later.

Join ACI and the CDC today in observing Global Handwashing Day – the perfect time to remind our loved ones that our health is in our hands.

We could all use a refresher, even for things we do every day. Here are some handwashing tips:

  • Lather your whole hand with soap, including between fingers and under nails.
  • Scrub to the tune of “Happy Birthday” to make sure you’re washing long enough. Sing it twice!
  • If soap and water isn’t available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help. Just keep rubbing your hands and fingers until dry.

Share a reminder on social media using the #GlobalHandwashingDay hashtag to help spread the word!
