Use Hand Sanitizer

With many people spending their days indoors, more germs get transferred which is why so many people catch a cold or flu. It is great to wash your hands after every handshake, or interaction with a shared object like a door handle. However, you can be even more proactive on fighting germs if you pack some sanitizer or alcohol wipes. A big bottle is great for the office or home, but there are travel packs of all different scents that you can bring in your kit, or your vehicle. Then you can fight germs wherever you go, whether there is a sink or not.
