Whistle While You Wash

Wash your hands to a tune, or for 20 seconds

(HealthDayNews) -- Teach your kids to wash their hands with soapy water after going to the bathroom, playing with pets, and before eating or handling food, advises the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

A hand-washing ritual should last at least 20 seconds, or as long as it takes them to sing Happy Birthday twice.
