I also wash before I go, because your junk has it's own ecosystem. So, what ever is in your daily surroundings doesn't belong downstares and what ever is in your downstairs doesn't belong in your daily surroundings.
If you’ve been in contact with aggressive chemicals, it’s actually a really good idea to wash your hands before touching other parts of your body.
Then again, you shouldnt come in contact with agressive chemicals in the first place
Capsaicin gets on your hands when chopping chilis. Laundry detergent can get on your hands when doing laundry. Even small amounts can cause trouble if they get to sensitive parts of your body.
I always make sure to not wash my hands after cutting chilis and before peeing. Who doesn't love a little dingle tingle?
