A. 15-30 SecondsExplanation
To effectively wash your hands, it is recommended to spend at least 15-30 seconds doing so. This duration allows enough time for the soap to create a lather and for you to thoroughly clean all areas of your hands, including between the fingers, under the nails, and the back of the hands. Washing for less than 15 seconds may not be sufficient to remove all germs, while washing for more than 30 seconds may not provide any additional benefits in terms of cleanliness.Rate this question:
