(Mishna Berura Siman 2:7) www.HalachaForToday.com ‫לע"נ היקר באדם ר' אברהם אלעזר בן דוד ז"ל והאשה החשובה מרים ריזל בת ר' משה דוב ע"ה‬ ‫בס'ד‬ When showering or otherwise washing the entire body, the head should be washed first, as it is the king of all the limbs, and is then followed by the right hand, left hand, right foot left foot.

See also Orchos Rabbeinu page 227 that the Chazon Ish Zatzal and the Steipler Zatzal were very makpid on this.) 4) Here too, there is no difference between righties and lefties, and if one is stringent with this he should have the buttons on the left side even if he is a lefty. (Regarding an ambidextrous person, see Biur Halacha Siman 3 Dibur Hamaschil Yemin) 8) According to some Poskim, nowadays when we have toilet paper, it isn’t necessary to follow the above guidelines, and they maintain that it is better to use the stronger hand rather than risk soiling the hands by using the weaker hand.
