White poster with blue lettering. Title at top of poster. Cartoon-character germs stand on both sides of the title, crossed out by "do not" symbols. Dominant visual image is a six-panel illustration demonstrating proper handwashing techniques. Many of the cartoon germs are on the hands in the first two panels (wet, soap). They fly off the hands in panel 3 (wash) and fall to the drain in panel 4 (rinse). Hands are clean in final two panels (dry, turn off water with paper towel). Publisher logo in lower right corner.
