HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS

Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infections and protect yourself and your family from getting sick. Learn a good hand washing technique by following these steps to stay healthy.

When to Wash Your Hands


Keep yourself and your loved ones healthy by maintaining a good hand hygiene. Here are several situations when you are likely to pick up and spread germs:

  1.    Blowing your nose, sneezing or handling used tissues
  2.    Touching garbage or other contaminated objects like garbage cans and cleaning tools.
  3.    Using the toilet or changing diapers.
  4.    Before and after preparing food, raw meat, poultry or fish
  5.    Before and after eating food
  6.    Visiting and caring for someone who is sick
  7.    Treating a cut or wound
  8.    Before putting on or removing contact lenses
  9.    Contact with body fluids such as blood, vomit or saliva
  10.    Handling pets, animals or animal waste
  11.    Handling pet food or pet treats

Follow these 11 Effective Steps to Wash Your Hands


Washing your hands is one of the one of the single most effective way to prevent the spread of germs. Regularly cleaning your hands can stop sickness from spreading from one person to another and throughout an entire community.

Follow these simple steps for effective hand washing:

  1.    Wet your hands with clean, running water, cold or warm.
  2.    Apply enough soap to cover all hand surfaces.
  3.    Rub hands palm to palm.
  4.    Rub right palm over left dorsum with interlaced fingers and vice versa.
  5.    Rub palm to palm with fingers interlaced.
  6.    Rub with back of fingers to opposing palms with fingers interlocked.
  7.    Rub each thumb clasped in opposite hand using a rotational movement.

Other Things to Consider:

  1.    Assume that contact with any human body fluids is infectious.
  2.    Clean the nails properly and regularly.

  4.    Keep hands away from your mouth, eyes and nose

Hand Sanitizers as an Alternative


Alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol is great alternative if soap and water are not available. Hand sanitizers however have limitations.

  2.    These are not effective on visibly soiled and greasy hands and fingers.
  3.    Hand sanitizers are unable to rid your hands of harmful chemicals such as pesticides and heavy metals.

How to Apply:

  1.    Apply recommended amount (refer to product label) to the palm of one hand.
  2.    Rub your hands together.
  3.    Spread all over your hands and fingers until dry.

WARNING: Swallowing alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause alcohol poisoning. Keep out of reach of children and supervise use.

HOW TO WRITE A WEDDING RSVP CARD

RSVP Card

The term “RSVP” comes from the French word “répondez, s’il vous plaît,” which means “please reply”. An RSVP Card which usually comes with the Invitation are used by the hosts to get confirmation from a guest if they will be attending the event.

While some couples opt for a more casual invitation, preferring a response through call, email or a personal written note but for more a formal wedding event a Response Card might be required. Thankfully, there are a lot of available and convenient RSVP template to match the theme and setting for your wedding!

There are a wide variety of designs that are suited for casual to a more formal wedding but below is a common style you will find in RSVP Cards.

RSVP Wording

While there isn’t exactly a “correct” way of writing a response card there are necessary details you must include.

  1. RSVP Reply Due Date. Below are few ways you can request the RSVP Date.
  • Your reply is requested by October 20th
  • Please respond by October 20th
  • RSVP by October 20
  • The favor of a reply is requested on or before October 20th
  • Kindly respond by October 20
  1. Guests Name. The M in the reply card is meant to signify the first letter of the formal salutation (Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms.) followed by the name of the guest and if applicable, the name of the spouse and children who will also be attending.
  2. Accept or Decline Checkbox. Checkbox for whether the guest will be attending the wedding or not.
  3. Number of Attendees. Great for inviting a large number of families with children and knowing the exact guest count to plan for the menu, seating chart, place cards and other details.

Things to Consider

  • Make the RSVP Deadline 2 to 3 weeks before the wedding. It will give you an ample time to contact anyone who hasn’t replied, give a final head count to your caterers, finalize the seating chart and apply the finishing touches to centerpieces and other decors.
  • Numbering your guest list and writing the corresponding number on the back of each rsvp card may solve the problem of guests forgetting to write their names and illegible name writing.
  • Adding a return address, possibly with contact details (phone number and email), and stamping on the envelope will help the guest send easily their rsvp cards back to you.
  • Make sure the return address is the address of the person responsible for gathering the cards and keeping track of the guest list.
