Avoid the Flu

Are you trying to avoid getting the flu?  There are certain items that are more susceptible to carrying germs than others.  This blog will explain five things that you absolutely must clean to help avoid the flu. You can learn more at apartment therapy.

Remember the 60 Minutes special from years ago which revealed that television remotes are the most germ infested item in a hotel room? Yeah, same goes for the home remote. With so many hands touching it, sitting on it and never cleaning it — the remote is one you absolutely can't miss.
Here are a few other items you've probably missed over the years that you might want to try giving a quick wipe down:
  1. The computer mouse
  2. Video game controllers
  3. Smartphones
  4. The computer keyboard
  5. Tablet devices and eReaders
The best way to clean these sensitive items? A non-toxic, simple cleaning agent is probably best. I recommend mixing a tablespoon of water with a tablespoon of isopropyl alcohol (or rubbing alcohol, as it's known more commonly known) and dipping a paper towel in the mixture and using it as a wipe. Soak and repeat.
