I can say this from watching other people in public restrooms........people do not know the proper way to keep their hands clean after washing them.

DO NOT touch the faucet with your hands after washing them. If there are no paper towels to create a DOUBLE barrier (using two paper towels), turn off the faucet with either your elbow, your forearm or the back of your hand. Thankfully, many public restrooms do have the automatic faucets so you do not have to touch the faucets at all. Do this procedure at home and everywhere you go.

If you do not turn off the faucets in this manner, the germs that are on the faucet when you turned it on are still there when you turn off the faucet thus contaminating your hands all over again.

Take care to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
