    If you think that not washing your hands after leaving the bathroom is disgusting, then you’ll probably be surprised at how many people don’t wash their hands daily. Thus, comes in Global Handwashing Day, a day where good hygiene is encouraged and practiced all around the world by millions of people. So let’s get started learning about the importance of this hygienic day.

    This campaign, established by the Global Handwashing Partnership in 2008, was made to help motivate people to improve their hand washing habits. This day was promoted by the UN General Assembly when its first event took place during World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden.

    World Water Week is a week-long global water conference that addresses the issues of sustainability with water consumption and development. The focus for Global Handwashing Day was school children. This global advocacy day successfully reigned in with over 120 million children around the world participating in better hand care in over 70 countries around the world.

    I thought you meant I was going to have wash me smalls in the sink rather than bung a load in the washing machine....

    The difference between a biologist and a chemist is that the chemist washes his hands before going to the bathroom, a biologist afterwards... Those scientists have all the good jokes

    I know, I seem so refined and delicate in the written word but really I’m a bit slovenly:)
