Keeping your hands clean is the best way of preventing infection spreading in the home. Washing your hands with warm water and soap (preferably liquid soap) and drying them properly with a paper towel will remove pathogens and prevent them from moving anywhere else. Alcohol hand-rubs are useful in the home but they will not kill some pathogens. The HSE provides advice on its website for the public in relation to appropriate hand hygiene practice.
