Five Facts Everyone Should Know about Handwashing with Soap

1. Washing hands with water alone is not enough!

Washing hands with water alone, a common practice around the world, is significantly less effective than washing hands with soap.Proper hand washing requires soap and only a small amount of water.Using soap works by breaking down the grease and dirt that carry most germs, facilitating the rubbing and friction that dislodge them and leaving hands smelling pleasant. The clean smell and feeling that soap creates are incentives for its use. With proper use, all soaps are equally effective at rinsing away disease-causing germs.

Falling in love with OraCare after her first try, Lucy also uses OraCare toothpaste that contains aloe vera to soothe and moisturize gums. Similar to the mouthwash, it is also formulated to provide long lasting fresh breathe while protecting the teeth from plaque, gingivitis and tartar- causing bacteria.
