The Soap and Detergent Association (SDA) sponsors the second annual Clean Hands Week by giving Americans a C- (minus) in handwashing.
Effective handwashing saves lives, but Americans are not doing such a good job according to the results from SDA's 2006 National Cleaning Survey.
Of those surveyed, 68% don't get their hands clean of dirt nor germs; 36% don't usually wash after sneezing or coughing; 31% don't wash their hands before they eat lunch.
Do you know how to wash your hands effectively?
