Hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective measures in reducing infections, and should be regularly adopted as a preventive measure. This activity demonstrates the importance of using soap / detergent for a correct washing and / or decontamination of the hands, evidencing its ability to repel dirt, in general, as well as contaminants
