What can we do to keep our hands clean when we have to go to stores/markets for food & supplies?
At this point if you do not have a disinfectant or sanitizer, what can you do?
As I have stated in other posts, cleaning is the first necessary, & most important step you can do. You cannot disinfect or sanitize dirt.
Do you have a small (spray) bottle of glass cleaner or multi-surface cleaner? Something that is skin & fabric friendly (ie: not bleach) Do you have clean cotton rags or paper towels?
................ If yes, then you have something!
When you get into your car, thoroughly wet your hands with the cleaner you have. Make sure that you do not just mist a little cleaner on them, GET THEM WET. Then, as you would if washing your hands with soap at a sink, work the cleaner into your hands for 20-30 seconds. Then with a clean rag or towels, aggressively wipe & dry your hands. Quickly do the same for your steering wheel, dash, or any other surface you may have touched getting into your vehicle. Wipe everything down well.
If you used paper towels, discard them. If you have cotton or microfiber cloths, you can rotate them out for clean, dry cloths between each use or at least once a day. With a good soap wetting & wiping onto a clean cloth this will allow dirt & germs to be transferred onto the towel. This minimizes what is on your hands & surfaces to be transmitted onto people & other surfaces.
If you do have hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipe, BE SURE TO USE THEM FOR THE TIME STATED ON THE PRODUCT CONTAINER. Most disinfectant wipes typically require to use up to 10 wipes to properly disinfect a surface. Spray/mist & wipe does nothing.
Note: Do not wash microfiber cloths with bleach or use fabric softeners. This will damage or coat the fiber & cause the cloth to lose its absorbancy.
