Handwashing effectively combats coronavirus through a two-pronged attack. The virus possesses a weak outer membrane, which proper handwashing technique, especially with soap, breaks apart. Soap's unique hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties allow it to grab onto the virus and then be rinsed away by water, removing the virus from your hands. Washing for at least 20 seconds is crucial for this process.

Dr. Kate Biberdorf, a scientist and professor at the University of Texas, explains this mechanism. Known for her engaging approach to science, Dr. Biberdorf is also the author of *Kate the Chemist: The Big Book of Experiments*, available here.
