Here’s how Dettol recommends that you wash your hands

• Dettol recommends that you wash your hands for 20 seconds (that's the equivalent of singing happy birthday to yourself twice!). Basically all you need to do is wet your hands, turn off the tap, add some liquid soap and rub them together to form a lather. Make sure you cover the fronts, backs, between the fingers and don't forget the thumbs and the nails. After 20 seconds turn on the tap again and rinse your hands thoroughly. Remember to rinse down the areas of the tap you have touched to remove any dirt and soap that may have been left behind.
