After using the facilities at an outdoor event, wash your hands in the provided handwashing station just like you would in the sink at home. This will remove all the harmful contaminants you can’t see with the naked eye. For more incentive to make handwashing a common practice, read below. 

The Benefits of Regular Handwashing

1. Remain Healthy

Bacteria and viruses can live on the skin, especially between the fingers and under nails. These germs can enter the body when you put your hand over your mouth to yawn or stifle a cough, touch your nose, or rub the eyes. Depending on the strain of the virus or bacteria, you could get seriously sick. Seeking out a handwashing station to give skin a thorough cleanse reduces the likelihood you’ll contract an illness. 

2. Stop Germs From Spreading

Germs are often spread through human contact, which means you can pass them on when giving out hugs and handshakes at the outdoor function. You could also leave or pick up germs on door handles and other surfaces. When everyone washes their hands, it can prevent outbreaks of influenza and other contagious diseases. 

3. Appear Presentable

Depending on the length of the event, all sorts of grime can collect under your fingernails. This can leave you embarrassed to show your hands in public or leave people less-than-eager to come in close contact. Regularly washing hands will keep nails dirt-free and presentable.
