Many people wash their hands with hot water, believing that this provides better protection against bacteria and viruses.
However, experts strongly recommend against doing this.
The water should be warm (25-40 degrees). Hot water has a negative effect on the skin of the hands, and cold water does not cope well with bacteria.
Experts recommend using regular soap, not antibacterial soap.
Regular use of antibacterial soap can lead to the development of bacteria that are resistant to antimicrobial agents.
In addition, regular soap fights bacteria in much the same way as antibacterial soap.
