With cold and flu season upon us, we all want to do what we can to be prepared and evade those weeks stuck at home in bed. Knowing places where viruses and bacteria love to hang out and how to properly clean these places are a vital part of the evasion process. Here are the top 5 places that you should be cleaning more often in the office and home.

1. A Shared Computer

Anything that gets a lot of direct finger and hand contact tends to be a hot spot for germs. All it takes is for you to contract something is for your fingers to touch a germ infected mouse or keyboard then proceed to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Be sure you are cleaning these shared spaces with an electronic cleaning wipe before and after each use!

2. The Refrigerator Door

Whether it is in your home or the one at the office, this handle gets a lot of action. And if there are even the tiniest bits of foods on it, bacteria can feed and multiply. Once a week (or daily if someone around you is sick) you can wipe down this door with Windex Touch-Up Cleaner which kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria.

3. Your Cell Phone

Considering all the handling it gets with your germy, food-laden hands and fingers, and the fact that food helps bacteria thrive, its a wonder this device doesn’t grow mold. Your cell phone is begging for a daily cleaning! Cleanse that bacteria away with an alcohol-based cleaner meant for digital devices.

4. The Inside of Your Car

Run a Clorox Disinfecting Wipe along your dashboard weekly, which gathers germs thanks to the heater or AC being on. Be sure to wipe down the cup holders as well, they tend to be another hotspot for bacteria to gather.

5. Your Purse

Think about it, your purse gets handled every day and goes everywhere you do. You sit it on the dirty bathroom floor, or place it on the kitchen counter, both places germs love to hang out. You take it all these places with you during the day and then bring them home on that beloved accessory risking the spread of said bacteria. Be sure to spray this or wipe it down daily with a fabric safe sanitizing spray.

Another good tip, always keep Purell handy, it kills 99.9% of germs you possibly come into contact with daily.

Being prepared and taking action to help evade the cold and flu season is something we all try to do in these cold winter months. SunDANCE can help you keep those bacteria at bay!
