Washing hands doesn't do anything in terms of bacteria, that's why hospitals don't use soap. They use alcohol based foam products and they wipe real quick before it evaporates...

Correction: washing hands with soap can kill and wash away most germs, but using alcohol can completely sterilize. Washing hands doesn't do anything?

Tried it out in a lab environment, it's true. Taking cultures from your hand/fingers before and after washing does nothing, if not worsens the amount of germs on you (handling of faucet and towels). Don't take my word for it though, maybe you wash real, real, ..., real well.
