What are the steps of Wudu (ablution)?

Wudu begins with the intention and saying Bismillah, then washing the hands to the wrists three times, rinsing the mouth and nose three times, washing the face three times, washing both arms to the elbows three times, wiping the head once (with the ears wiped as part of this), and finally washing both feet to the ankles three times, always starting with the right side before the left. Performing these actions in order, without unnecessary gaps between them, completes a valid Wudu.
