When you travel, watch out for these objects - they carry lots of germs !!

Remote controls are never cleaned !!

Handrails in supermarkets, airports, trains and bus stations - how many people holds the handrails everyday? yak!

Hotel light switches - switches are seldom cleaned

Hotel bedspreads - hotels change the bedsheets but rarely change the top comforter or bed cover. Rule of thumb: look for starched bedspreads, pillow cases.  Otherwise walk away ! 

Airplane lavatories (try to wipe dry around the sink after you've used it, a good habit)

Airplane tables

Water fountains

Airplane seat pockets

Touch screen kiosks

Now you know why you or your kids come home with a flu and sore throat ??
