Cold and Flu Prevention Tips - Tip #5

Clean the environment to eliminate germs

Try to keep the environment as germ-free as possible. That means using disinfectant when cleaning, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. When cleaning, pay special attention to germ hot spots like doorknobs, light switches, and kitchen and bathroom counters.

And, make sure to disinfect cleaning sponges and rags (a breeding ground for germs) by changing them frequently, soaking in bleach, microwaving for 1-2 minutes, or running through the dishwasher.


In an outside workplace, wash your hands after touching communal office spaces and regularly disinfect your own work area.
