Poll: Hand washing...

[hyperseven]

This regiment works for me

 

[Mr Badger]

I wash and use alcoholic gel.

<Homer Simpson>MMMmmm... alcoholic gel...</Homer Simpson>

What flavour do you like?

Confirmed hot water and soap user here - like to get a good lather up. Anyone I notice at work or in the pub that doesn't appear to meet my hand hygiene standards will be the subject of my disapproval.

 

[Rroff]

So it doesn't seem like a splash under the tap with hot water will be enough.

Washing hands to get rid of germs is mostly about the mechanical action - which warm water helps with.

 

[Kanifee]

I use laser beams form my eyes to super heat the air around my hands to sanitize them.

On a serious note, i can't stand those dirty ***** that refuse to wash up after using the toilet. Scruffy *****!

 

[i know nothing]

My wife thinks its pointless as i just used antibac liquid soap thing and cold water, says it wont work, i have to use hot water!?

Not true. The difference between liquid soap and antibacterial liquid soap for consumers is negligible, it would be a different story if you were comparing a surgical scrub to liquid soap. In any event, it's all about reducing harmful bacteria on your hands, it's not about creating a sterile pair of hands.

 

[Glanza]

Hotwater and hand gel.

 

[Avenged7Fold]

I use warm water and soap.

I also use alcohol gel after i use someone else's keyboard and mouse at the office. My closest mates, my girlfriend and two of my colleagues have all just recovered or currently have bacterial tonsillitis. I did some time in hospital a few weeks ago and really don't fancy taking any more time off.

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

Wasn't it proven recently that anti bacterial soap is pointless and to just use normal soap??

 

[ubersonic]

Warm water, unless my hands actually dirty then Swarfega too.

 

[XeNoN89]

Im always washing my hands, i'm a bit of a clean freak

 

[Kuros]

Use whatever soap is nearby with whatever tap is closer.

Some places I've been to have the hot water silly high, meaning it'll easily scald your hands if you use it.

 

[slade]

Always hot water and soap for me... using cold water/soap is just silly

 

[Punt]

Soap and water. If the water comes out hot, fine; if it comes out cold, fine.

If I'm out and about, gel.

I've seen someone come out of a cibicle, with a coffee in his hand, walk straight out the door.. when I asked him why he's a tramp, he said he washes his hands at the start of work and when he finishes, not inbetween

 

[MooMoo444]

I use the toilet water to wash my hands since it's convenient, then I just dab my hands dry with the loo roll. No need to mess about with the sinks or the dryer.

 

[cheesyboy]

Water only after a wee, water + soap after a poo.

I'm not particularly worried about 'germs', just don't want poo on my fingers.

 

[haaammit]

I work in the catering industry so I tend to instinctively use hot water with soap and use the 8 step method. Meh, sue me

 

[Mr Badger]

Water only after a wee, water + soap after a poo.

Maybe you should try using toilet paper?

 

[ttaskmaster]

I wonder how all the OCUK clean freaks would cope on something like a survival course, where they don't have a full-on Boots/Lloyds product range with which to purify themselves....?

 

[Avenged7Fold]

I would cope just fine. Just because i prefer good hygiene to poor hygiene does not mean i cannot cope with with the idea of dirt. My main hobby is fishing and camping.
