1. The first time I washed my hands

thoroughly for 20 seconds, I was amazed by how different the skin of my hands felt. This long, thorough washing seems to remove a layer of something--maybe dead skin cells, maybe grease?

2. Thanks for posting. Now if they would just add short sleeves, no jewelry or long fingernails

Surprising that this wasn't the familiar method all along.

3. Hmm, he forgot to do each finger and make sure the beds around the nails get scrubbed.

He also did not go far enough above the wrist for my liking.

I have always washed my hands like that.

Also, when you work as a custodian in a school there is just something that drives you to keep your hands washed.
