The effectiveness of handwashing mainly depends on proper technique (such as rubbing hands, covering all surfaces, including between fingers and under nails) and using soap, rather than a specific minimum water temperature. Cold water can also remove dirt and germs effectively as long as the proper hand - washing steps are followed.
