From CDC.gov:

"What is the correct way to wash your hands?

* First wet your hands and apply liquid or clean bar soap. Place the bar soap on a rack and allow it to drain.
* Next rub your hands vigorously together and scrub all surfaces.
* Continue for 10 - 15 seconds or about the length of a little tune. It is the soap combined with the scrubbing action that helps dislodge and remove germs.
* Rinse well and dry your hands."
