How to Protect Those That Matter Most

It's that time of the year again when love is in the air and couples everywhere are gearing up to celebrate the most romantic day of the year, Valentine's Day. However, February is not just about chocolates and roses, it's also a time when the flu, colds, and other viruses are rampant. As we shower our loved ones with gifts and love, we also need to ensure that we're protecting them from illnesses. In this blog post, our Director of Business Development, Bill Wymer, shares some tips on how to keep your loved ones healthy this Valentine's Month.

Handwashing

When it comes to avoiding illnesses, proper handwashing is probably the most critical aspect that people tend to overlook. Many people still don't realize the significance of handwashing, and as a result, illnesses can spread quickly.  Deb® Refresh™ Azure Foam Handwash is one of our top-selling products that helps in maintaining hygiene. Despite popular belief, using antibacterial soap is not necessary, as regular soap and water do the job. Not only that, but antibacterial soap could also lead to the creation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, it's essential to educate our loved ones about the benefits of handwashing and using the right products like Deb® Refresh™ Azure Foam Handwash.

Workplace

Keeping the workspace clean is equally crucial for preventing illnesses. Allergens such as dust, mold, and bacteria in carpets, ceilings, and other surfaces can lead to several health issues. SC Johnson Professional Heavy Duty Neutral Floor Cleaner is a safe cleaning agent on multiple soil loads. Plus, it has a fantastic fragrance and is easy to use, making it a top-selling product. Spraying disinfectants such as SC Johnson Professional Scrubbing Bubbles Spray Disinfectant is another good way to knock out germs on surfaces like door handles, phones, and light switches.

Best Practices

In combination with good hygiene practices and educating others, using high-quality cleaning products like Deb® Refresh™ Azure Foam Handwash,  SC Johnson Professional Heavy Duty Neutral Floor Cleaner, and SC Johnson Professional Scrubbing Bubbles Spray Disinfectant could make a massive difference both in the workplace and at home. It's equally essential to stay at home when you're feeling unwell or have flu-like symptoms.

Proper handwashing and using high-quality cleaning products are essential for maintaining good hygiene and avoiding illnesses. Deb® Refresh™ Azure Foam Handwash and SC Johnson Professional Heavy Duty Neutral Floor Cleaner are top-selling products for a reason. Families and employees need to take extra precautions during flu and cold seasons to prevent the spread of diseases, protect the most vulnerable, and practice good hygiene habits. It's crucial to educate on the importance of handwashing and explain why the right products should be used. By following these simple yet significant steps, we can stay safe, healthy, and ensure a healthy environment for ourselves and our loved ones.
