What is the correct order for handwashing?

The correct order for handwashing involves the following steps: First, wet your hands with clean, running water. Then, apply soap and lather by rubbing your hands together, making sure to scrub all surfaces, including between your fingers, under your nails, and around your wrists, for at least 20 seconds. Rinse your hands thoroughly under clean, running water, and finally, dry them using a clean towel or air dryer.
