Information online is just not clear enough about this. There’s a lot of talk about washing hands but does washing your hands after touching an infected object/person actually PREVENT you from becoming a carrier? As in, can you just wash MRSA off should you get it on your hands? I started working in a care home with someone who has it and do NOT want to become a carrier by any means but it’s impossible for me not to touch anything at all.

Yes. Hand washing has been time tested and proven to be the single most effective measure against contamination in a health care setting. All the microbes including MRSA has lipid bilayer cell membrane , which are destroyed when you work up a lather with soap. There are standard procedures ( 8 steps) of hand washing that should be followed , and you’re good to go.
