This is something that was drilled into me over 50 years ago and it is second nature for me to turn off all faucets in the manner I described. I just wish the media would include this very important step when instructing the general public.
After your hands are properly cleaned and you blow dry them under the hand dryer, how do you get out of the restroom without touching the door knob? No paper towels, just a blow dryer.
