Personal health and hygiene is at the forefront of global headlines. Protecting yourself against illnesses and infections is more important than ever. One of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent sickness is to wash your hands.
We all know that washing your hands is good for your health, but it’s also an effective way to stop the spread of germs. If you live with a family or interact with people on a daily basis, cleanliness is paramount and it all starts with your hands.
Both the CDC and WHO released campaigns on how to properly wash your hands. In order to wash your hands the right way, think of these five keywords:
- Wet
- Lather
- Scrub
- Rinse
- Dry
Wet your hands, lather with soap, scrub your hands, rinse under water, and dry off. You should aim to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, which is the length of humming the “Happy Birthday” song twice. Wash your hands frequently throughout the day especially when dealing with food. Use this diagram from the WHO as a reference.
With soap coming off the shelves left and right, try using Shopping Annuity Brand Organic Foaming Hand Soap, which can be found and ordered on UnFranchise.com. The Shopping Annuity Soap is made for all skin types. The product is a plant-based hand soap that both cleans and moisturizes skin. Wash your hands with the Shopping Annuity Soap in situations like caring for someone who is sick, treating a cut or wound, using the toilet, and coughing into your hands.
An alternative to soap is the Shopping Annuity® Brand Hand Sanitizer. Currently, the Shopping Annuity Hand Sanitizer product is sold out, but should be in stock around March 19 so plan accordingly. That being said, continue to wash your hands frequently in the meantime.
Please share this information with your teams. We can all do our part to protect ourselves and our familes. It all starts with our hands. Wash up!
