Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The degerming is the act of handwashing. In this process, the microbes are removed by scrubbing the hands with a disinfectant usually a chemical, sterilizer, soap or detergent. This process will help in removing the microbes from the skin. It is a mechanical process of removing the germs or microbes without killing them.

This process provides a temporary protection from microbes.
