If you have good hygiene than you probably wash your hands on a regular basis. But the question is, are you washing them long enough. This new study will show you everything you need to know about washing your hands and how long you should be doing it for.
1
The whiter the hand, the more bugs left after washing
BEFORE WASHING: Covered with germs - shown by the white glow
2
RINSE AND SHAKE: You may be in a rush - but a splash of water won't shift the bugs
3
SIX SECONDS NO SOAP: The average wash - but vast patches of germs remain
4
SIX SECONDS WITH SOAP: Proof soap helps - but those fingers are still filthy
5
FIFTEEN SECONDS WITH SOAP: What NHS recommends - but germs still lurk on knuckles and nail cuticles
6
THIRTY SECONDS WITH SOAP: Almost spotless - but this is FIVE times longer than most of us wash
