Give it a while. Try to concentrate on other things, and don't be afraid of touching things with your 'contaminated' hands. They're clean enough!
I always feel filthy after cleaning the lavatory, even after washing my hands in bleach! The feeling doesn't go immediately, but it gradually subsides, and I concentrate on doing other things until I've forgotten about it.
Resist the temptation to shower again and again. The more you do, the less clean you will feel. Moisturize all over with a decent lotion such as E45 and enjoy feeling clean.
