Washing your hands is a great way to prevent catching a cold or flu. However, if you wash with soap for less than 20 seconds, it may not be effective.
Experts say 20-25 seconds of washing your hands vigorously with warm water and soap is the trick. An easy way to know if you have reached the 20 second mark is to sing the "Happy Birthday" song. However, people are tired of that song. Here are some alternatives that the chorus will help you mix it up at the sink. In fact, we came up with our own lyrics for "Jolene". Listen to the clip below and ENJOY!
