Still Washing Your Hands in Hot Water?

Waiting for the hot water to come through the pipes to wash your hands is wasteful of water and energy and as it turns out not necessary to get your hands clean.

In its medical literature, the Food and Drug Administration states that hot water comfortable enough for washing hands is not hot enough to kill bacteria, but is more effective than cold water because it removes oils from the hand that can harbor bacteria.

Save some heating energy and water and turn down the hot water faucet.
