From Rutgers – first time I have seen this and I have certainly not been doing it correctly.

The proper method to apply and use hand sanitizer.  Research has shown that a two-step sanitizer method is the best method for alcohol-based sanitizers.

1. Step 1: Apply three pumps of sanitizer from the dispenser.
2. Step 2: Rub hands for 20 seconds making sure to cover the palms, backs of hands, and between fingers up to the wrists.
3. Step 3: Wipe the hands on a disposable paper towel.
4. Step 4: Apply one pump of the sanitizer from the dispenser.
5. Step 5: Rub hands until dry.

Hand sanitizers do not take the place of handwashing before starting or returning to work; after using the toilet; before and after eating and smoking; before putting on gloves; after touching animals or animal waste or any other time hands may become contaminated under the Food Safety Modernization Act or for most audits.
