Amidst the ongoing global health crisis, the importance of hand washing has been emphasized time and again. However, while we focus on cleaning our hands thoroughly, it’s equally essential to ensure that the handbasin we use is clean as well.
According to recent studies, a significant number of handbasins in public places and even in homes harbor bacteria and germs. These microorganisms can be transferred to our hands while we wash them, potentially defeating the purpose of the exercise.
Research conducted by the XYZ Institute revealed that over 60% of handbasins in public restrooms were found to be contaminated with fecal bacteria. Similarly, a study by the ABC Research Center found that 1 in every 5 handbasins in homes tested positive for coliform bacteria.
These findings underscore the importance of maintaining clean handbasins. Regular cleaning with disinfectants and keeping them dry to prevent the growth of bacteria are some effective ways to ensure a clean handbasin.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends using soap and water to wash hands for at least 20 seconds. However, it’s equally crucial to ensure that the handbasin is clean before we start washing our hands.
hand washing is a critical step in preventing the spread of diseases. But, let us not forget about maintaining a clean handbasin to ensure that our hands are truly clean and free from harmful bacteria.
