Optimal Handwashing Procedure Before Surgical Gloves

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the correct duration for handwashing before gloving for a surgical procedure is five minutes. This should include two minutes of cleansing hands and arms up to the elbows with soap and water followed by 1.5 minutes of rubbing the hands with an alcohol-based rub before gloves are put on.
