5 Tips To Keep Germs Away

This post was sponsored by GOJO, the makers of PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant, as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Before kids, I rarely got sick. I went to the doctor maybe once a year, but after Brooke was born, I found myself constantly at the doctors office. Thankfully, since Baby Kevin has been born I can honestly say that none of us have been to the doctor for sickness. This is a huge statement for our little family with the amount of times we went to the doctor for Brooke. While I contribute this to a number of factors, I try really hard to keep germs away as well. Here are a few tips I use to keep germs away:

Wash Your Hands

I wash my hands often throughout the day, especially when I am in public. I also wash Brooke’s hands and wipe off Baby Kevin’s. And, when there isn’t a place for me to wash my hands, or if a bathroom seems dirty, I use PURELL® Hand Sanitizer. Which leads me to my second tip, for years, I’ve trusted PURELL® Hand Sanitizer to help keep my hands clean, now the PURELL® brand has a new, revolutionary surface spray that’s unlike anything else on the market today.

Use PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant

PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant quickly kills 99.99% of germs including cold and flu, strep and salmonella with absolutely no harsh chemicals. It’s worry-free around kids, pets and food and can be used on everything from your food-prep surfaces, think cutting boards, to your kids’ toys – giving you the peace of mind to use it just about anywhere. I like to use it on high traffic areas like door handles, light switches and low areas my kids touch like living room tables. You can grab it online at Amazon.com, Jet.com and Walmart.com as well as in store at H-E-B and Publix. I got mine from H-E-B and you can even go to Coupons.com for coupon offer of $1.50 off (1) one bottle of PURELL Multi Surface Disinfectant valid at H-E-B.

Keep Your Workspace Disinfected 

Another thing I do for me, is keep my work space disinfected. You would be shocked how many germs can be on your computer keys or phone screen. These are two heavily used items in my day, so I like to make sure I disinfect and clean them good and often.

Keep Kid Stuff Disinfected

One of my favorite things about PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant is that I can use it worry-free around my kids. I can disinfect and clean different surfaces they touch, as well as their toys. Keeping the kids toys disinfected and heavily used surfaces is a big deal for me. It takes a lot of time, but is so worth it.

Avoid Contact

Yep, I said it, avoid contact with people and other unnecessary surfaces when in public. I don’t mean be crazy about it, but I do mean be caution about what you are touching. Do you really need to touch every handrail? Do you need to pick up that candle? Just think about it.

I mentioned that using PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant around my kids was a big plus, and my next favorite thing is that you can use it on both hard and soft surfaces. There are no harsh fumes, no toxic residue, no harsh chemicals, and no bleach. See worry-free. The PURELL® brand continues to break new ground using science and technology to advance public health. It will soon be available in store at Shop Rite and Wakefern Food Corporation. Don’t forget to use the coupon!
