Hand washing habits
November 1st 2010

The British have an excellent record of washing their hands after using the toilet, a new survey reveals.

A total of 89% of British people claim they always wash their hands after using the loo, while a further 10% say they usually perform this routine task.

The survey, carried out on behalf of hygiene tissue company SCA Tissue Europe, revealed that Britain was among Europe's front-runners when it came to hand hygiene habits.

Respondents from Germany and Sweden equalled Britain's 89%, while Sweden came close behind with 87% of people claiming to always wash their hands after using the toilet.
