As suggested by professional office cleaning services, before and after every client contact. Wet hands and lather with soap, scrub for 20 seconds and then rinse under clean, warm, running water. Dry hands with disposable paper towel or hand air dryer, use paper towel to turn off tap and open door of wash area, dispose of paper towel in bin.
