School is in and you know what that means- GERMS. No matter how many times we tell our children to wash their hands, they are still going to get sick from germs at school. Really, their going to get sick from anywhere but school is a constant battle for many families. My almost 12 year old daughter has anti bacterial containers everywhere from her locker to her backpack, but my 8 year old is prone to sickness this time of year.

Aside from school, our own home can carry germs & bacteria. Below is a list of unusual locations that bacteria & germs lurk.

1. Restaurant Menu: The worse thing you can do is let your restaurant menu touch your appetizer plates, eating utensils or drinking glasses. The menus are filled with germs & other bacteria that can cause sickness to your and your family members. Bring a small alcohol wipes or antibacterial wipes with you in your wallet or purse.

2. Vacuum Cleaner: E Coli, Fecal bacteria, and mold are the main culprit of germs hiding in your vacuum cleaner. Make sure to regularly change out your vacuum cleaner bags and wear gloves when doing so. Spray disinfectant on the brushes of your vacuum cleaners after every use. Also keep in mind that not spraying disinfectant after every use, your also transferring germs from one room to another room, allowing for a larger square foot area to be contaminated.

3. Your Own Bed: Yup, your own bed is a huge carrier of dust mites. Dust Mites are small microscopic creatures that feed of your dead skin. Lovely! One of the best ways to reduce dust mites is by not making your bed. I’ll repeat that, do not make your bed. Dust mites survive on moisture that a made bed can provide. See mom, the kids are right about not making their beds! Reducing the chance of dust mites can also reduce the chance of allergies and things like asthma your family may experience.

4. Office Mouse & Keyboard: We knew this one, but it’s one of those items that we tend to forget to wipe off. and average of 60 different types of bacteria can be found of your office computer & mouse. Keep in mind that children also have access to the school’s computer lab. Make sure your child’s school offers a thorough cleaning of their computer lab.

5. Debit Cards: Yikes!! We hand over our debit/credit cards too often everyday to not apply an antibacterial wipe at the end of each day. We used to think that cash was one of the dirtiest areas for germs & bacteria, boy were we wrong. Maybe you use a card machine versus handing over your card to an actual person? The credit card machines crevices that we slide our cars in are extremely dirty. Locations may wipe their machines but are those crevices getting clean? Probably not. Make sure to clean your cards and allow them to dry before returning them to your wallets.

  10. I always try to protect my little one as much as possible, cart covers in the grocery store, wiping them down before he gets in. I have heard great things about the boogie wipes, I will have to check them out, the name themselves makes me curious.

  14. i battle germs by using tissues during runny nose season and by a lot of hand washing with soap. we use wipes when we aren’t at home thanks clallen at ntin dot net

  17. I try to degerm as much as possible by using disinfectent wipes on door handles, phones, toys, everything i can think of.

  33. I battle germs in my home by always having lysol spray and spraying the beds and couches down every single day in my morning cleaning ritual. Thanks

  36. I keep doorknobs, keyboards, remotes, fridge door handles and car door handles sanitized. The toilet flusher is another biggie, along with sink knobs.

  44. I battle germs by reminding my kids to wash their hands when we return home from school or the stores, and to always use tissues and hand sanitizer.

  62. I leave cleaning wipes at both sinks,and carry mini hand santizers in both purse and diaper bag. Plus my tween daughter loves the scented Bath and Body Works sanitizer and keeps it in her locker and bookbag.

  92. We use hand sanitizer and don’t worry a whole lot about germs – they’re a part of every day life! People who go coo-coo trying to wash everything seem to get sick more often than those who just wash their hands before eating, etc….

  106. I battle germs at my house by taking my vitamins, giving vitamins to my kiddos and avoiding things like hand sanitizers and antibacterials, which kill the good bacteria along with the bad. (Not to mention that the bad bacteria that survive the sanitizers/antibacterials mutate into a superbug that is resistant to antibiotics!). Simple hand hygiene and cleaning are sufficient, and we seem to have less illness in our house than my germophobe friends do! :)
