Detailed explanation-1: -Using soap to wash hands is more effective than using water alone because the surfactants in soap lift soil and microbes from skin, and people tend to scrub hands more thoroughly when using soap, which further removes germs 2, 3, 7, 8.
Detailed explanation-2: -The water helps create soap lather that removes germs from your skin when you wash your hands. Water itself does not usually kill germs; to kill germs, water would need to be hot enough to scald your hands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wet your hands with clean water and apply soap. Rub hands together to make a lather and scrub all surfaces.
