Tips for Avoiding Germs

Germs have a pesky habit of spreading, but there are actions we can take to stop them. Taking a proactive approach to avoiding germs can keep you from getting sick, and from infecting others. Here are a few ways you can avoid germs.

Wash Your Hands – The most common way to spread germs is through touch. Every day you touch door handles, countertops, items in stores, toilet handles, and countless other things. As you go throughout your day, germs can accumulate on your hands, and transfer to every new thing you touch. Washing your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds can help drastically reduce the spread of germs.

Clean High Traffic Areas Regularly – Be sure to clean and disinfect your home on a regular basis. High-traffic areas like door handles, counters, and anything you or your family touches frequently should be first on your list.

Stay Home If You Are Sick – You’ve probably heard this so many times that you’re sick of it, but it really is important to stay home if you feel under the weather. The fewer places you go when ill, the fewer opportunities germs have to spread.

Use a Kooty Key – The Kooty Key is a multi-use push-pull hook with a padded tip and anti-microbial properties,  that you can use to pull door hands, push buttons, and more. The best way to avoid germs getting on your hands is to avoid germ-covered objects. Other people touch these objects every day, leaving germs behind. If you can avoid touching them, you won’t spread them. Contact us today to learn more about Kooty Key.
