A good way to know you've been washing your hands for the right amount of time, sing happy birthday twice! But, like me, if you are fed up singing happy birthday you can chose to sing the choruses of one the following instead...

A Spoonful of Sugar – Mary Poppins

I’m gonna wash that Man right outta my hair – South Pacific

Mamma Mia – Abba

Raspberry Beret - Prince

Jolene - Dolly Parton

Heaven is a place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle

Does anyone else have any good twenty-thirty second tunes they sing to wash their hands to? :)

Thanks,

Becky

Brilliant lol :)

But as with many things technique is just as, if not more, important than stamina :) ;)

There are some great vids on FB showing how easy it is to miss bits of the hands but I dont know how to share them here :(

South Pacific is one of my favourite films - very dark moments and deep commentary on society's prejudices, wrapped up in gorgeous scenery and fluffy songs! Happy talking x

Belinda Carlisle, Heaven is a place on Earth - I knew as soon as I heard that song for the first time that it would be the Christmas No. 1 here.

Useful tips. What are people doing abt taps. We don’t have elbow operated ones in our house😼

I'm wiping them down with soapy sponge after washing hands then rinsing hands again and taps.

That’s kind of what I’m doing but I don’t think the dearest is lol

Try and persuade them, otherwise it's a chink in the armour against the virus and the slippery little b#&&€r will catch you out x

Otherwise you'll have to follow them round the house as official tap washer lol :)

Take care.
