How many times do you wash your hands in a day?

A survey conducted by Lifebuoy on Kosmo newspaper and CloveTWO.com found that a total of 52% of respondents wash their hands more than seven times a day, while 34% do so four to six times a day. The remaining 14% wash their hands less than three times a day. The question remains however: are the majority of those who wash their hands more than seven times a day doing it the right way?  

People may be under the false impression that by scrubbing their hands together profusely they’re getting rid of germs in the most efficient way. While you can’t fault the effort, the ‘method’ itself can be improved.
