Global Handwashing Day

October 1, 2025 by julie.ommert

Global Handwashing Day – October 15  🧼🌍

Handwashing with soap is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent illness and save lives. Global Handwashing Day is a reminder to make this simple habit a part of daily life.

Clean hands stop the spread of germs—at home, school, work, and everywhere in between.

Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
Key times: before eating, after using the restroom, after coughing/sneezing, and after outdoor play.
Teach kids to make it fun with songs or games.

Wash often. Wash well. Stay healthy.
