Washing

Washing is when you clean things to get rid of dirt and germs. When we wash our hands, we use soap and water to remove the germs that might make us sick. When we wash our clothes, we use a special machine (or sometimes our hands) to remove dirt and stains. We also wash dishes to remove food and germs so our plates and utensils are clean and safe to use again.

We need to wash regularly to stay clean and healthy. When we wash, we make sure we are clean and we also help stop the spread of germs.
