25 “Sticky Situations” to Find Germs this Winter

by

This past January, my family and I went ice skating. We don’t ice skate often, so we rented skates. Now, I’m hoping, with my fingers crossed sure
that the teenagers that work at the ice rink clean those old rental
skates between uses, so that when we put our hands and feet all over
them, we’re essentially germ free. Right? However, common sense tells me
otherwise. So, without being paranoid about germs, I just pulled out my trusty WET ONES® Antibacterial Hand Wipes, and cleaned our hands before heading to the ice. 
Afterwards, we washed our hands well with soap, and then headed to eat at Chick-fil-A. Just to be certain they were clean, I made sure to pass out one more round of wipes to everyone before we ate. 


We practice good hygiene in our home, but I’m not naive enough to think that there aren’t times the kids miss a hand washing before they dig into food, or put their hands close to their mouths. Gross, I know. Those kinds of things are just what every mom wants to think about, right?

All the grimey places and ways you and your family can find germs lurking this wintery flu season. However, because I do believe in staying informed, I wanted to share with you a comprehensive list that the folks over at WET ONES® Antibacterial Hand Wipes have put together of 25 places that we may not think about that we could be picking up flu germs.

Did you know that Wet Ones® Antibacterial Hand Wipes is a twice as handy solution for kids to
quickly wipe away messes and kill 99.99 percent of bacteria on hands when
soap and water aren’t available?  
I’m very blessed that my kids have been very healthy this winter. I believe that with good, practical cleanliness, and the extra help of using the antibacterial wipes when we can, this has helped contribute to that this year.
