Hot water at the hand sink should be at least 100°F (37.8°C) to effectively remove dirt and kill bacteria. However, for optimal sanitation, many health guidelines recommend temperatures around 120°F (48.9°C) to ensure proper handwashing. It's important to ensure that the water is comfortable to the touch to encourage frequent handwashing without causing burns.
