To be in compliance with medical aseptic standards, the minimal recommended time for effective handwashing is typically at least 20 seconds. This duration allows for thorough cleaning and removal of germs from the hands, reducing the risk of infection transmission. It's important to use soap and scrub all areas of the hands, including between the fingers and under the nails, during this time.
