How to flick-dry your hands with paper towels
An animated guide to flick-drying your hands with paper towels: wash and rinse well, flick excess water off over the sink with splashes contained (skip if unsafe), use one paper towel, folding it if that helps, dry thoroughly, then put used towels in the bin.
Steps
- Wash with soap and water, then rinse.
- Gently flick excess water off your hands into the sink.
- Use one paper towel, folding it if that helps, and dry thoroughly. Take more if you need them.
- Put used paper towels in the bin.
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.
