How do you wash your hands?

I have to get my hands wet before I put the soap on them...I guess it is like rinsing them off first because if you just put the soap on it seems like it would just spread the dirt around on your hands...just my silly thoughts!!

When I'm home or at church or someone else's home, I turn on the faucet, put soap on my hands, and then wet them and proceed to wash them. If I'm out somewhere, I get a paper towel to turn on the faucet, and proceed to do the same thing. lol

i always wet my hands first with running water. then, i soap it. then i rub my hands together and my fingers, too. and rinse the soap away when i already feel that my hands are well washed already. then, i towel dry it.

i used to wet my hands first, then the soap. my bad habbit is i ussually rub my hands in my pants after that. lol

I do it either way, I think. Sometimes I rinse first then lather, sometimes I do it the other way. The important thing is that I DO wash my hands!

I just wet my hands first and then apply soap on it. Applying soap first and then water would wash away all the soap and the reason behind applying the soap would be ruined.

i usually wet my hand first and then put the soap... i think it is the same reason as you... it is because i am so used to use bar soap instead of the liquid one...

i do the same as you did, wet my hands first then i'll used the soap to make my hands clean.I think those who are put the soap first doesn't think about other users(i mean at the public toilet).After they finish doing 'thing'(you know what i mean),they at least must wash their hands first because when they use the soap first,their dirty hands are touching the soap and this make the soap very dirty for other users to use it.At least they have to think that there are many people who are gonna use the soap again and again.

I just wet them first before rubbibg with soap, but if I used liquid soap I just put some liquid soap then rub it.

Hi I usually wet them and then use the soap dispenser, lather my hands up and scrub the front and back of my hands and inside the fingers, then I start to scrape out my nails while running the water over them, even if they look clean, People would probably think I was obsessed with washing my hands if they had to see me wash them LOL... Im pretty thorough especially when it comes to hands...

I usually wet my hands first, then put the soap on them and then rub them together. If I am talking or otherwise distracted I will usually just put the soap on first. I never really thought about it either.

first of all I mdon't like talking about taht subject because I have gotten into to many arguments through the years with people that I have seen only turn on the water and stick just thioer finger tipe under the water and the n dry them. I have also had big, big time arguments with people that won't wash their hands after they have gone to the bathroom and then wants t go into the fridge. To end this you are right you wet your hands first and put the soap on them and then wash for at least 10 to 20 seconds, and then rinse them off.

I do always wash my hands before and after I eat my breakfast,lunch and dinner. Washing your hands always shows that you have a proper hygiene, thats why you have to wash your hands everyday. Always maintain a good hygiene.

it depemds wich kind of soap you're using...if you use liquid soap then you don't have to wet your hands first,if you use solid soap then you need to wet'em

Well I always wet my hands first before I use soap or liquid soap. Then I make sure to scrub between the fingers, back of my hand, fingers, wrist and of course the plam of my hand before I rinse. Our health teacher in high school taught us how to wash our hands proeperly, I think doctors do this steps also.

Why are you watching people so closely in public bathrooms? all the best urban

using soap obviously, because using soap i'm not satisfied. i feel as if my hands are still dirty to feel disgusting!!

If i am at home i wet then soap my hands then proceed with the washing. If i am in a public resteroom with the liquid soap i soap then wet and wash as to not get the soap pump wet for the next person i think. dunno but until just now i never thought of how i acually washed my hands lol

I wet my hands first and then apply soap. If you apply soap before wetting, it feels like the amount of soap is not enough for a clean wash. But very little is enough while doing it the other way round. I'm not a miser, but i'm reluctant to waste things unecessarily.

This is an interesting concept although I never gave it much thought up until now. I put liquid soap first then wet my hands. Why? I think it's because I don't want to get the soap dispenser all wet and soggy, so to speak, thus leaving it neat for the next person (or myself if it's at home).
