    Absolutely. I'd never think of not washing my hands. Only if someone's life were in danger like the building was n fire, would I hesitate and not wash. And I'm careful about touching the door handle when I go out. If they haven't learned yet to place the trash can hear the door, well, they'll learn if I can't do a 'long toss' accurately.

    We miss our girl!

    I ALWAYS wash my hands after using ANY bathroom! And I always use the paper towel to turn off the sink and open the door. If it's one of those awful bathrooms with just the hand dryer, I use toilet paper to open the door (unless it opens so I can just push it) and to turn off the water. I also flush with my foot and use toilet paper to work the lock on the door. And now I even carry Clorox Anywhere Spray with me since it comes in a small sized bottle, and I spray everything, too! (Embarasses the hell out of my kids! lol)

    Every time -- I never skip this part of the bathroom routine. Ever. And, I never touch the faucets or door handles with clean hands. I use the paper towel I used to dry my hands. Even after I'm out, I always finish up with some hand sanitizer that I always carry with me. I use it several times a day when I'm out and about just as a matter of routine -- there are icky germs everywhere. Money is especially filthy.
