Wash hands frequently with soap, preferably liquid, and rinse under warm running water for at least 20 seconds. A communal cloth towel may harbor bacteria and viruses that can re-contaminate hands and body, possibly causing illness. Help remove germs in your apartment by wiping surfaces frequently with paper towels and disinfectant for added protection. It is particularly important to clean communal surfaces such as kitchen and bathroom countertops, coffee tables, phones, TV remote controls, computer keyboards and mouses, doorknobs and light switches since they are frequently touched by everyone in your household. Within two hours of eating, wash dishes in the hottest water possible and thoroughly dry them with Sparkle paper towels.
Germs can multiply on dishes left soaking in dishwater.
Close the lid of the toilet before flushing to help prevent germs from being ejected onto surfaces. Since bacteria breed in moist environments, keep the bathroom ventilated and dry to reduce the possibility of bacterial multiplication. Shake the shower curtain after showering and leave open so moisture can completely evaporate. To remove excess oil from pizza and other foods, pat with clean paper towels or napkins. Use Sparkle paper towels or napkins to dry rinsed fruits and vegetables before eating raw.
