There's no denying that washing your hands is important. But if you're feeling a little confused about how long and with what kind of soap, Dr. Carly Stewart of Money Crashers has got your back.

The good doctor recommends just sticking with the regular suds instead of paying more for something that's labelled as 'antibacterial', and here's why:
Regular soap is just as effective as antibacterial soap when it comes to the spread of germs. Furthermore, bacteria can become resistant to the antibacterial agents in these products, which can make it more difficult to kills these bugs down the line.
As for how much time you should spend scrubbing your grubby mitts, 20 seconds should suffice. Just make sure you scrub all parts of your hands thoroughly and you should be good to go.
