This is only the first of several steps to washing your hands.
This step scrubs the back of one hand and between the fingers. Remember to scrub the other hand too.
The cuticles and nails are some of the hardest areas to clean (and therefore the most dirty).
This step cleans further along the fingers than the Backs scrub step.
Pressing and scrubbing in small circles helps free dirt from under the nailbeds.
Swivel the thumb and the fist of the other hand, and clean from the base to the tip of the thumb.
Long sleeves may get in the way, which can prevent you from cleaning your wrists.
The trainer lets you inspect your virtual hands under ultraviolet light, revealing areas you still need to wash.

To test whether the training works, we perform an external assay of handwashing proficiency. The scrubbing motions in the trainer are tightly tied to those same motions performed in real life.
