There’s enough variance that relative recommendations (“more often”, “more completely”, “more time spent”) are difficult to take seriously.
I wash my hands maybe 2-3 times per day and apply Purell (the brand provided at work) another 1-2. I don’t spend over 10 seconds, though I do try to get all surfaces. Will the marginal improvement of adding one instance or 5 seconds of additional scrubbing noticeably reduce my risk? I can’t find any study that has this level of granularity.
