Bathroom Safety Tips

Hand Washing

Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of disease and keep your bathroom healthy, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Wet your hands with clean water, lather soap and scrub for about 20 seconds. Then rinse with clean water and dry hands well. If soap and clean water are not available, use sanitizing gel or wipes. While these products do not disinfect as well as soap and water, according to Kids Health, they can be a good back up.
