An animated guide to flick-drying your hands with a hand dryer: wash and rinse well, flick excess water off over the sink with splashes contained (skip if unsafe), then use the hand dryer until your hands feel dry.

Steps

  1. Wash with soap and water, then rinse.
  2. Gently flick excess water off your hands into the sink.
  3. Use the hand dryer until your hands are completely dry.

Safety first. Follow facility instructions. Avoid splashing people or nearby surfaces. Skip flicking if it is unsafe or difficult for you. These steps are proposed guidance under review and are not a public-health-approved protocol.
