==Washing Hands after Going to the Bathroom==
# After going to the bathroom one must wash one's hands (three times each hand alternating) without a bracha. <Ref>S”A 7:1 writes that one does not make a bracha on the washing after going to the bathroom. Mishna Brurah 7:3 confirms this even though many disagree. </ref>
See [[Activities_That_Require_Netilat_Yadayim#After_Leaving_the_Bathroom|Activities That Require Netilat Yadayim]]
# If one’s hands did not get dirty at all then there is no obligation to wash hands in order to say [[Asher Yatzer]] but one should still wash for cleanliness purposes. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 7:2 </ref> If one does not have water readily available one may still make the bracha of [[Asher Yatzer]]. <ref>Mishna Brurah 7:5 </ref>
# If one placed a hand into the bathroom even if one did not relieve oneself, one should preferably wash both hands, however one is definitely obligated to wash the hand that was inside the bathroom. <ref> Or Litzion 2:1:13 </ref>
