Flannel is one of the softest fabrics that need special care during washing and drying. In addition to those times, the PDEI recommends people wash their hands before and after using contact lenses, after sneezing, coughing or wiping off nasal mucus and after shaking hands with other people. Every down jacket has a label, which shows how to wash and maintain it. If you are careful enough, it is not difficult for you to find that 90% down jackets need hand washing instead of dry-cleaning.

Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water. After you've dried your hands, use the towel to turn off the water and put the towel in the laundry, or rubbish if it is disposable. Washing your hands is all about putting up a road block for germs.

Washing your hands is your front-line defense against a host of illnesses, not just coronavirus, but be honest: You're likely not doing it long enough or often enough. As a doctor, I have to be really careful about keeping my hands clean and avoid spreading viruses from patient to patient.

Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis is credited #happybirthdaysong for advocating hand washing in medical clinics to prevent the spread of germs. The germs picked up on the hands are then transported and possibly re-deposited to a patient that may be very susceptible to an infection due to their weakened condition.

Make sure to wash between your fingers, under your nails, all around your thumbs and wrists, and the palms of your hands. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them. Dry hands are also less likely to spread contamination than wet hands. Rinse your hands with clean water.
