Wring out as much or as little water as possible, then dry your hands. You can find all-natural, gentle hand washing detergents. Apply soap to your hands and work up a generous lather. Scrub your palms, the back of your palms, each finger, in between all your fingers, your fingertips, and your fingernails for at least 40 seconds. Lather your hands together with soap, then wring out the excess water. Your hands should feel wet, but not dripping. If your hands are particularly dirty, you can pad them with a hand towel to keep them clean and prevent spreading the virus. Allow your hand to rest on a dry towel for several minutes, allowing the residue to settle.
