HAND WASHING:
Hand-washing to prevent colds includes using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, a cleanser you can use without water. There is no one best water temperature to wash one's hands. If your hands are really dirty and greasy, use of warm to hot water will do a better job of trapping dirt and grease within the soap, allowing for a more thorough cleaning.
The type of soap also does not typically matter. as long as it lathers and spreads over the hands sufficiently to trap the germs.
10 Times to Wash Hands
To prevent colds from spreading to others, practice regular hand-washing. Most importantly, wash hands:
Before and after preparing or handling food, especially when handling uncooked poultry and meat

After changing diapers
After using the bathroom
After sneezing, coughing, or blowing your nose
Before and after inserting contact lenses
After touching an animal or animal waste
After handling garbage
Before and after treating wounds
Before and after touching a sick or injured person
