When To Wash Hands: Because hands are a frequent transmission route for infections that enter the body through the nose, eyes and mouth, avoiding contact with the face and practicing proper hand hygiene are crucial.\n

NEW YORK, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- As this week's headlines have made it all too clear, you can never be too careful when it comes to protecting yourself against flu outbreaks. What's the number one way to prevent the spread of illness? Frequent, thorough hand washing! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the "first and most important" way is to "wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective." Whether you're getting off a crowded subway or heading into a restaurant, this simple step is a vital way to protect you and your loved ones.

How To Properly Wash Hands:

-- Wet your hands with warm clean running water and apply soap

-- Work up a good lather & scrub for at least 20 seconds (try singing

the Happy Birthday song twice)

-- Wash between your fingers, nails and the top of your hands

-- Rinse hands well under running water for another 10 seconds

-- Dry your hands using a paper towel or air dryer

-- If soap and water is not available, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer

like Bath & Body Works Anti-bacterial PocketBac. Apply product to

palm of one hand, rub hands together and apply product all over surfaces

of hands and fingers until dry.

When To Wash Hands:

-- Treating a cut or coming into contact with any other bodily fluid

Wash hands after:

-- Being in a public place where disease can spread easily, from

restaurants to mass transit

-- Blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing or touching your eyes
