Washing hands is an important habit which helps get rid of illness-causing germs and keeps you healthy. It also removes dirt and stops microorganisms from spreading to other people.

Handwashing prevents people from picking infections, flu and other diseases like diarrhoea, food poisoning and passing on the same to others. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that handwashing is one of the best ways to protect ourselves and our family from falling sick.
