If an adequate amount of alcohol-based hand rub is applied to your hands, it should take 20-30 seconds to perform correct hand hygiene.
In correctly performing hand hygiene using alcohol-based hand rub, we apply the rub in process. In this process, enough hand rub is applied to cover all of the hand's surfaces (fingers, nails, and the entire hand), and then the hands are rubbed together until they are dry. This assures that the hand rub effectively gets rid of germs on and around our hands.
