      1. These tips are really helpful in killing the germs from home thank you for providing these tips and tricks.

      2. we are so conscious of germs now days – I don’t think I am anywhere vigilant enough – although I do wash my hands a lot more than I used to (just in case). All these tips are really helpful if you have issues with low immunity. thanks for sharing with us at the #OverTheMoon linkup #4 ~ Leanne 🙂

      3. I like this. This is more effective than taking massive amounts of vitamins or supplements which are not necessary and can be harmful if misused. This is a thorough review of helpful information.

      4. These are all great tips. I have an auto-immune disorder which has weakened my immune system so I have been practicing many of these for years. The thing is that I want to ask those who come in to visit to wash their hands but that would rude, wouldn’t it? So I go about cleaning surfaces after they leave. No one needs to know. 😉 Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!

        Blessings,

      5. Hello Shirley,
        These are helpful tips for keeping everything clean during the cold and flu season.
        Thanks for sharing this at Cooking and Crafting with J & J. Julie xo

      6. These are terrific tips for how to stop the germs for spreading in the house. It is a really hard job to keep the germs from spreading when having small children as it is in my case. They like to touch and eat everything and it is hard to keep them from spreading the dirt and germs. For me is incredibly important to have a clean house and since I have kids I feel so helpless. I need to have better organization and stricter cleaning habits. Really useful tips! Thanks for the post!

      7. I am always wiping down door knobs, handles, faucets, remote controls, etc. with disinfecting wipes–these lovely wipes bottles live under every sink in the house, plus a couple of closets and the garage as well. I may be just slightly OCD about them…LOL Thanks for this very informative post. Here’s to staying healthy in the New Year! 🙂

      8. I often clean all of these areas frequently. I need to pay more attention to my make up brushes, though. I also have a stash of cleaning rags for cleaning. Washing them now with bleach, soap, and hot water as we speak. Who knew there was a video on how to properly wash hands? Love it. Thanks Shirley for this info. Always such good cleaning tips on your site.

      9. Germs seem to lurk everywhere! When I read that when someone sneezes, it can travel up to 200 feet I kind of wished I had not learned that bit of info. Yuck! I need to start disinfecting all the door handles. This is great info to know!

        I wish you the best in 2016, Shirley!

      10. I never thought about light switches and fridge handles! Thanks for the reminder. We can’t seem to shake the cold in our house recently so better get on this more regularly. #MerryMonday

      11. thanks for your checklist! I actually forget to clean these places 🙂
        again thanks for reminding us to keep our home a better place!

      We enjoying hearing from you!
