When you wash your hands, assuming you do, do you turn on the hot or cold water?

    Usually the hot, but it never really gets that hot while I'm washing them, so I guess in a way cold ;-)

    hot water, soap, for about a minute, scrub every inch of skin and under nails too!

    6 out of 8 sisters are in the medical field. It wasn't until high school that I realized I didn't have to scrub my forearms!

    Closer to hot than cold, and I sing Happy Birthday twice while scrubbing with soap. After I'm done, I "shock" them with cold water because I heard it burns calories.

    It must be exactly 80 degrees Celsius or you're doing it wrong
