How Often Do You Wash Your Hands
Ask a Question
Hello everyonee,
Just for curiousty how often do you guys wash your hands and how cautious are you when touching surfaces?
I don't really don't know, obviously every time I go to the loo, before and after touching food, if I've had to touch the bin, empty the Hoover ....
I'm not really too worried about touching surfaces " in doors" but if I was using public transport I have hand sanitizer if I get worried.
beccatavender agreed with you same here I get worried using public transport it feels horrible.
beccatavender I'm exactly the same as you and can probably wash them about 25 times a day.
When I need/have to.
If I take a leak, I'll wash my hands, but there's dudes who don't. Never understood that.
PhilipMarc What really grosses me out is the amount of times I've been in the toilets in a Supermarket and seen guys coming out of the traps and washing one hand, that is absolutely disgusting and I'm not shy in being vocal about it.
true 
We wash our hands all the time and always have done. As soon as we enter the house we take off our shoes and wash our hands. Obviously after using the lav, & in the bath or shower. Before/during/after preparing foods (as you touch many different foods). Touching the bin, every time we use the wheelie bins, after gardening. After putting the shopping away & wipe down all surfaces etc... We use a lot of soap... 
tumblespots this is a great animation wow! Same here Im exactly the same love washing my hands when it feels clean. Good idea to use soap as it would be more cost-effective.
I am still washing my hands and have never cut down and I have really touched surfaces when I was out as I have a low immune system so was always careful before. I never shake hands with people but then again never did.
eyeballkerry Fair enough good point made here although shaking hands does not always work
I don’t wash mine for quite as long as I did in the first lockdown but still wash them about as often. I’m not overly worried about touching surfaces as the science seems to have moved the emphasis to airborne covid transmission.
Washing hands excessively has become the habit since the coronavirus pandemic 2020! 
I still stick to Covid-19 rules of regular handwashing of 20 seconds or using hand gel/sanitiser. Also I tend to have a clean tissue paper to open the women's toilet door on exit.
I wash my hands all the time! As soon as I get indoors, before preparing or eating food, after touching any surface indoors or outdoors 
I’m OCD about washing my hands
About 30 times a day
Before and after every activity
brendablue oh no, do you have to use any hand moisturiser because of the dry out of washing your hands too often. Thanks for your comment
brendablue I've always washed my hands about 25 per day, sometimes even more and my brother said it was OCD, but I've never actually seen it that way as I've always done that.
They are very dry and yes i do most nights put moisturiser on and its a waste during the day as i wash them so much
brendablue I was thinking the same, because it feels horrible to wash hands with moisturised hands horrible
I couldn't give you an exact number. I wash them when I've been to the bathroom, before and after touching food, after touching the bins outside. I use hand sanitizer when I'm out and after I have changed my sons nappy. I definitely do it more now than I did before covid.
