Should we prefer hot water when washing hands or cold water?
According to the results of the research, it is useful to choose warm or cold water.
When we want to clean our hands; So we wash it to get rid of bacteria. As a result of a claim put forward a few years ago, there was a belief that we should wash our hands with hot or cold water without scientific evidence, that normal soaps do not clean bacteria and that we must use anti-bacterial products. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, and the research and experiments conducted to measure the reality of the situation showed that anti-bacterial soaps are no different from other soaps. They even contain substances that can be harmful to the skin. After all, we just need to wash our hands with normal soaps. It is not possible to get rid of all these bacteria, no matter how we use soap.
Is the water hot or cooler?
What works for hand washing; use of water and rubbing of hands. The scrubbing process removes the bacteria and removes them from the surface of the skin. In a study conducted at Rutgers University, USA, some experiments were performed on E.coli bacteria and it was found that hot water did not differ much from cold water. Even if the water is too hot, we offer bacteria a more comfortable living space. Because too hot water damages the protective layer on the skin and causes bacteria to increase.
