How do you wash your hands?

[Kioku]

Do you have any particular reason why? (I dislike when people make proclamations like that without any reasoning)

Hand dryers are top tier garbage. They don't always work. They don't always fully dry your hands. They're shoving dirty air and dust build up onto your hands. They're not clean. They're not sanitary.

Anywho, I use foamy soap or soap with some form of microbeads. Deap clean and usually leaves my hands feeling smooth.

I can dry my hands in a fraction of the time I dry my hands with a hand dryer. I have yet to see an actual hand dryer that makes me go "yeah, I'll use this instead of towel"

I use as scalding of hot water as my skin can handle, and liquid handsoap. (Not that foaming bullshit)

Why not foaming hand soap?

 

[DeadlyFoez]

what do you have against hand dryers?

They spread bacteria horribly. Mythbusters did an episode involving them. Basically, since they are in a nearly constant humid environment, and it just keeps recirculating that air over and over again, it make the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply like crazy.

I also hate the design of some hand dryers where you have to insert your hands into the dryer, which runs the risk of touching the edges and potentially getting your hands dirty all over again.

I remember these Dyson hand dryers where you'd slide both of your hands into there, and it would be super loud and blow a lot of air. I believe my hands were pretty dry afterwards.

I use warm water and lather hand soap all over my hands and then rinse it off, simple, I don't use hot water because I use my 3DS often and my hands get heated upfast.

Usually with soap and water.

In the hospital, always with hand sanitizer! (Wish me luck I don't get cdif)

It sucks compared to handsoap, as far as getting me clean of dirt and grease.

Warm water with gentle hand soap.

This thread is so far very informative. I see that most people prefer warm-ish water when washing their hands, and I’ve seen the negatives of both paper towels and hand dryers. Only somebody with no life would care this much but hey its probably not fine pls help

What ? That's stupid question, lol.

Well, from what i’ve seen, this is a place for stupid random questions. But not REALLY stupid questions. Those go to the EoF

Water soap, I also work with a lot of customers that I need to shake hands of, so bottle of alcohol cleaner is always nearby, but makes your hands so dry.

 

[Bimmel]

I use some water usually. And a bit of slippy soap.

Lol I dont have the option of using products with microbeads as they are illegal here in Scotland. Soon here drinking straws/face wipes and cotton buds are to be illegal as well. Anyway back on topic I am one of the people who use soap first then water. Dont know why but have always just done that.

There is a scientific research which prooves that hand driers make your hands dry (obviously) but at the cost of blowing bacteria (from your hands and the room) all over the place.
Paper towels are the most hygienic. Recycled towelrolls are also ok.

Just don’t bother washing them, save water and build up your immune system

that doesnt seem very healthy

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I prefer lukewarm water around the middle of the knob, when showering though I tend to go a little colder.

And what about all the fecal matter you'll leave behind on anything you touch that the next person who comes along will get on their hands?
