I had no idea about some of them, but I also implement a few as well.

But 20 minutes in front of a hair dryer? And a sauna? Don’t I wish :)

I do the paper towel trick too. If you’re in a bathroom that’s paperless (with hot air hand dryers), then use your elbow to push the door open. Another good thing to do with the kitchen sponge is run it through the dishwasher every time you wash a load. It gets much cleaner that way. I also bleach ours occasionally. if I”m worried about having washed counters, knives, etc., where there was raw chicken or something else that could spread bacteria.

I carry a little bottle of Purell with me, and use that often – especially after handling cash or touching things like an ATM keyboard. I also make sure to drink more liquids in the winter – warm or cool. More liquids is always a good idea – but in summer, it’s warm enough that I’ll drink to stay cool. In winter, I’ll forget if I don’t remind myself. That helps keep the system hydrated, flush out anything that’s trying to get a foothold.

You might want to try microwaving your damp sponges every few days, if you want to use them longer than once a week. That kills the bacteria that love breeding in them, and extends their useful life.

I also rarely use my hand to flush the toilet. I use my foot whenever possible.

Some of the others are interesting and I just might try a few. Thanks for the tips.

Happy TT!

Let’s of good tips. I’ve never heard the one about not blowing your nose. Next time I get a cold, I may try that.
