Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you are doing it right, 20 seconds allows for enough time to be thorough, and for soap molecules to do their job on the entire hand. “It takes time to clean all those surfaces effectively, ‘’ Gilbert says. “If you try to do it in half that time, you’re probably not going to effectively clean all of them.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Wet hands under warm running water. Use enough soap to form a good lather. Rub all parts of hands with soap and water. Lather for at least 20 seconds, vigorously and thoroughly rubbing all hand surfaces, including the fingertips and thumbs.
