hot water gets rid of bacteria, but then again, so does soap. warmer water would be better, but it doesn't really matter unless the cold water bothers you
Water is actually what cleans but you need something to break the surface of what your washing and soap is the best to use, and the water from your sink isn't hot enough to sterilize objects.
Hand sanitizer can be a useful alternative when soap and water are not available, especially if it contains at least 60% alcohol. However, it is not a complete substitute for proper hand washing, which is more effective at removing certain types of germs, dirt, and viruses. Hand washing is particularly important when hands are visibly dirty or greasy. For optimal hygiene, it's best to use both methods appropriately.
Hand wash typically refers to the act of washing one's hands with water and soap, while hand soap specifically refers to the soap used for washing hands. Hand wash may involve other cleaning agents or methods, but hand soap is specifically designed for cleaning hands.
Washing dishes by hand requires water, soap, and a dishcloth. A drainer will be handy for letting water drain off the rinsed dishes as well.
Hand washing clothes with a soap bar is less effective than using a washing machine. Washing machines provide a more thorough and efficient clean by agitating the clothes and using more water and detergent. Hand washing may not remove dirt and stains as effectively and can be more time-consuming.
That is a good question! When you wash your hands, the overhead water should be clean and free from any microorganisms. Then you must use the soap to wash your hands. With foam of the soap the germs are washed away. You must give enough time to wash the hands. You must take special care to wash the nails. You must apply soap to the tap and scrub the same. You pour the water on tap, then wash your hand and then close the tap. Otherwise the germs will come back on your hand, from the tap, as you close the tap.

The CDC reports that soap and water does a better job at removing germs, but a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol makes sense to use if soap and water are not available. If your hands are visibly dirty or greasy,
Soap by its self can dry your skin and dehydrate it rapidly so its always better to put water on your hands before soap. Soap also doesn't go very bubbly unless it reacts with the water so that's another reason to rinse before washing.
Hand washing is the act of cleaning one's hands with soap and water to remove dirt, germs, and potential infections. It is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of diseases and maintain good personal hygiene. It is recommended to wash hands regularly, especially before handling food, after using the restroom, and when in contact with sick individuals.
studies have shown hand sanitizer DOES NOT replace hand washing and in some cases may cause cancer.
While it is true that hand washing with plain soap doesn't actually kill all germs, hand washing is still a vital part of disease prevention. The mechanical action of hand washing--both the flushing action of the running water and the friction from the rubbing together of your hands--removes harmful pathogens. And that's why hand washing is considered so important to public health.*Proper hand washing technique: use very warm water and soap, briskly wash and rub hands and between fingers with suds for a minimum of 20 to 30 seconds, rinse and dry on clean towel. To know if you are washing your hands long enough for the germs to be removed from your hands, sing two verses of Mary Had a Little Lamb or sing Happy Birthday twice before you stop washing and rubbing them with the soap suds.
It is recommended to provide liquid soap for hand washing as it is more hygienic and easier to use than bar soap. Look for a soap that is gentle on the skin, fragrance-free, and preferably antibacterial to help kill germs effectively.
You didn't mention if you were hand washing some of your clothes, or, you were washing them in the machine. If you are washing them in the washing machine then you are using too much soap. I use liquid soaps instead of powdered. I often find that powdered soap can stick to clothing sometimes and also clog up the hoses and drains faster. If you are hand washing then use a gentle detergent such as ivory or even baby soaps and let soak, drain out the soap water and replace with tepid to cool water (cold water gets suds out faster) then place your item you are hand washing on a thick towel (lay flat) and roll the towel up to get excess water out and then place the item on another towel that is dry and let air dry. When using your washing machine you should put in a box of baking soda and put through a cycle (you can also use some Dawn dish soap that cuts grease) and put your washing machine through a full cycle to prevent clog build up from soaps. I do this every 2 months.
