Use a towel to turn off the faucet. If the water does not automatically shut off, then you may want to use a towel to turn off the faucet. Get a clean dry towel and place it over the faucet before turning off the faucet. You can also use your elbow to turn off the faucet if a towel is not available.

If you don’t have access to clear water and soap? Use hand sanitizer! How to use it?

Decide if hand sanitizer is appropriate. There are some situations where you can use alcohol-based hand sanitizer instead of using soap and water to wash your hands. However, you may want to take a moment to evaluate the situation. Some things you should consider include:

Whether or not your hands are visibly dirty. If you can see the dirt or grease on your hands, then it is best to use soap and water to clean them.
What you got on your hands. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer will not eliminate all of the germs on your hands and it will not remove certain substances, such as pesticides and heavy metals. In these situations, soap and water work best.
The availability of water. If no running water is available to wash your hands, then alcohol-based hand sanitizer is better than nothing. However, if you have access to soap and running water, then washing your hands this way is best.

Apply a dollop of hand sanitizer to one hand. To use hand sanitizer to cleanse your hands, apply a dollop of hand sanitizer to one of the palms of your hands. Get about a quarter sized amount so that there will be enough to cover your entire hands.
Rub your hands together until the sanitizer evaporates. Rub your hands together and move the hand sanitizer around them as if you are washing your hands. Cover both sides of your hands, between your fingers, and around your wrists. This should take about 20 seconds to do and the alcohol-based sanitizer will have dried on your hands by the time you are done.
