Hand Washing is something that we all need to do. To keep people’s hands clean more public advertising needs to be made. People need to know to always wash their hands for 20 seconds at the minimum but also know that they need to be using the proper products. While using a scented hand sanitizer may have a nice smell it may not help at all. People should be aware of which products are recommended for hand washing. This may be a small solution but more needs to be made. When you walk through New York City streets you do not really find any place where you can sanitize your hands unless you are indoors. Having hand washing products in many streets can dramatically decrease your chances of getting any unwanted microbes in your hands.

While having more accessibility to these hand washing products are necessary it is important that people also consider sanitizing their hands multiple times per day. Of course 100 percent of people will not be sanitizing their hands multiple times per day but if more people did the chances of people interaction such as handshakes can lead to the chances of exchanges of unwanted microbes through the hands. Remember these microbes are in people’s hands but they can not be visually seen with the human eye.
