Why does washing your hand with hot water clean them better than washing your hands with cold water?

Well, why does it? Just curious.Why does washing your hand with hot water clean them better than washing your hands with cold water?
Hot water of 140 F aides in the killing of bacteria... its kinda like cooking. You cook Fish to 140, Meat to 155 and chicken to 160F. Bacteria grows between the temps of 41F and 139F. Also, on a side note hot water build lather with soap more than cold. The important thing is to rinse your hands with water as hot as you can stand.


Hope this answers your question... good luck and keep that helmet of yours on tight so you don't bang your head!Why does washing your hand with hot water clean them better than washing your hands with cold water?

The heat kills the bacteria on your hands, cold water wouldn't do that
Becuase the hot water sterilizes
I think because HOT water along with soap kills the bacteria better than COLD water - but now that I think about it bacteria grows %26amp; thrives in HEAT and dwindles in COLD. so it could be that we just use hot water cuz it feels better on our hands? Ya think???? LOL
