October 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after bathing a baby and before touching food.

Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing (PPPHW). The goal, they say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soap is equally useful in removing disease-causing germs (细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a little water and cover them with soap. Rub (搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.

The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps lo break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again.

It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second biggest cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year.
