When washing hands in the sink, should soap be applied first then rinse off, or rinse, soap, then rinse off?

If it is liquid soap, the order of application logically does not matter. If, however, it is bar soap, wetting the hands would make applying the soap a hell of a lot easier.When washing hands in the sink, should soap be applied first then rinse off, or rinse, soap, then rinse off?
Wet your hands first, then apply an antibacterial soap. Suds up and scrub all areas of the hands and fingers taking care not to forget between the fingers and under and around the nails. Use a Nail brush and an Orange-wood stick to clean under nails. Rinse with your fingertips pointing east and west so the dirty water does not run up into your sleeves. Take a paper towel and dry thoroughly. Then take another paper towel (dry) to turn off the faucet. Finally use one last dry paper towel to open the bathroom door and discard it as you leave. he whole process should take about 30 seconds.When washing hands in the sink, should soap be applied first then rinse off, or rinse, soap, then rinse off?
Rinse, Soap, Rinse.





This allows you to get a good foam going, without having to run your hands under the water WITH the soap on your hand until you're ready to rinse.





Plus, if you're using bar soap, it's nearly impossible to clean without a pre-rinse.





Also, the pre-rinse kinda gets some junk off itself, making the soap stage a little more easy.





(Foam is good...it gets soap over a larger area of skin...surgeons get foamy when they scrub up before surgery).
Wet your hands and then apply soap... scrub for 30 seconds and then rinse.





Soap is an emulcifying agent that makes water wetter.





Without water soap is not any good. Soap makes water do it's job better.

Thats all there is too it!
If you cut your hands off you can save a bundle on both soap and water.
Doesn't as long as the soap gets on your hands and off again.
I always rinse my hands under the water first before using the soap.
