The NHS recommends washing your hands for about 20 seconds, which is about the same period of time as singing "Happy Birthday" twice.

Here are the handwashing steps:
1. Using water, wet your hands.
2. Use enough soap to completely cover your hands.
3. Make a rubbing motion with your hands.
4. rub the back of one hand with the other hand and clean in between the fingers. Repeat with the opposite hand.
5. Clean in between your fingers by rubbing your hands together.
6. Rub the backs of your fingers against your palms.             
7. With your other hand, rub your thumb. Apply the same technique to the other thumb.
8. Rub your fingers tips on the palm of your other hand. Repeat with the other hand.
9. Wash your hands with water.
10. Using a disposable towel, completely dry your hands.
11. To turn off the faucet, use the disposable towel.
