Tips for Keeping Your Home and Family Germ Free this Fall

Wash and Sanitize Your Hands More Often

Wash hands more frequently. You can prevent the spread of many germs just by washing your hands. So do it often. Place hand sanitizer on the kitchen counter and on every bathroom counter to encourage everyone in your home to use it often. Use hand sanitizer before, after, and in between trips to the bathroom, trips outside the house, and trips to the fridge. You get the idea.

Don’t Share Bathroom Towels

Don’t share hand towels in the bathroom. Keep a stack of small hand towels on the counter or next to the counter in each of your bathrooms and encourage everyone to use a clean towel each time they use the bathroom. Or you can assign each member of your household a designated hand towel if you don’t like the idea of only using a towel once before it goes in the wash. The important point is to not share towels and the germs that inevitably end up on them.

Keep The Kitchen Clean

Wipe down kitchen counters after every use and keep your kitchen sink and counters free of dirty dishes. All kinds of nasty germs end up in the kitchen, which is often one of the most used rooms in a household. Food, sticky hands, and dirty dishes all contribute to the spread of germs in the kitchen. Get in the habit of wiping down the counters, sink, and faucets often to keep the germs away.” To read the entire article click here.
