Hand-Washing by CDC Standards

The CDC recommends to wash your hands under warm water for 20 seconds, especially after touching surfaces and before eating foods. Liquid soap, fresh clean hand towels, and a container of sanitizing wipes for daily cleaning are recommended items to have near any hand-washing stations.
