Whilst this is not good practice there are some homes which you really would not want to wash your hands in!! Sometimes you can just gel your hands, otherwise look for kitchen roll to dry your hands and shower gel/bath foam/washing up liquid to wash them. I have just finished a Community placement and this is what we did in some homes!
