Handwashing Awareness Week

Do you sing the ABCs or Happy Birthday when you wash your hands?  Either of these will help remind you to scrub your hands for a total of 20 seconds!  These days, more than ever, we’re washing our hands frequently and most likely, we reach for the liquid soap.  In August 1865, William Sheppard was awarded a patent for his Improved Liquid Soap (US Pat. No. 49,561).  Chances are that soap was not as moisturizing as many of the liquid soaps today.  But it got the job done for the times!  @bigiplaw #patentfunfacts #handwashingawareness
