Not using soap to wash hands

In a nutshell it’s comes to light that my DH doesn’t use soap to wash hands unless he is visibly dirty. So after wiping his bottom, his logic is, he doesn’t make contact with his bum himself so it’s fine to just rinse with some cold water.
This is a massive, unforgivable ick to me and I don’t think I can over look it.
Im a HCP so hygiene is engrained in my every move!

So he's moistening whatever is on his hands, and rubbing it off on the hand towel - nice! Loads of people (men, especially) don't though. Wonder if they learn it in the soap-free environments of many schools. Revolting.

I think most men think like this.

He’s a dirty bugger.

It isn't washing and he is revolting.

I cannot stand people who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet.

It is grim beyond words.

That’s not washing them, just rinsing.

By this logic - why does he wash them at all? If something needs washing, it needs washing with soap.

This is disgusting. He's not actually washing his hands, he's just barely rinsing them.

There’s no point washing with just water. It’s not like rinsing off visible dirt after say, being in the garden. He may as well not bother.

My point exactly!
