Cleaning and disinfecting tips for your home

Keeping a clean home has always been important, but if you’re like most people, you’ve reprioritized cleaning your living spaces. Between the seasonal flu and COVID-19, there is a renewed interest in stepping up standards from just “clean” to focus on disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces as well.

For many homes, this is a new standard that might seem difficult to meet, especially if you have kids and pets. In the past, many people used disinfectants only occasionally, either when someone was sick or in areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Now, entire homes are getting disinfected on a regular basis.

New Year Wellness Resolutions

Every new year people make resolutions for the upcoming year, oftentimes centered around making more money and shedding weight. This time around, we want to encourage you to add some wellness resolutions to your list. This can round out your list of goals by encouraging healthy living and self-care all year long.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve put together the following wellness resolutions for you to consider.

Focus on learning more about wellness

Do you feel a bit lost when you hear health related news? Are you unsure where to go for trustworthy health information? Many people are so busy that they rely on online sources, including social media, for health information. This year, focus on learning more about health and wellness so that you can feel more confident in all your health related decisions. You can do this by taking classes on health and wellness topics and by reading information from trusted sources. There are many great sources online, but the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion are good places to start for reliable information.

Prioritize sanitizing and cleaning

Don’t wait for spring cleaning this year, start the year off with a bit of a cleaning spree. This is especially important in light of the pandemic and for those that had family gatherings for the holidays. So grab your best cleaning supplies and give your home a once over. Be sure to add in disinfectant to make sure you’re getting rid of unwanted bacteria. Focus on high traffic, high touch areas, including door knobs, light switches, counter tops and restrooms. Just remember, it’s important to use products that are safe for use around kids, animals and food surfaces where applicable.

Prioritize readiness

Nobody likes being caught unprepared, especially when it comes to health situations. While learning more about health issues is a great first step for those interested in preparedness, you have to do more if you want to truly be ready. This year, learn all you can about first aid, emergency preparedness and create emergency plans for your family. Encourage those you love to do the same and share resources so that your entire network is more prepared. You can visit Ready.gov to get information on safety skills, local training classes and other important topics. You can also learn how to build a first aid kit so that your family is ready for those minor cuts and scrapes.

Last but not least, schedule downtime for yourself on a regular basis. All too often people push themselves to the brink, busy with work, community and family obligations. This can increase your stress and take a toll on your mental and physical health. It’s important to give yourself some downtime so that you can rest, recharge and look after your health. This year, make downtime a priority by scheduling it like you would a meeting or appointment.

Five ways to stay healthy during the holidays

Food, fun and catching up with family and friends….If you’re like most people, you’re looking forward to the upcoming holiday season. You might also be a bit more concerned than usual this year about preventing the spread of illness during all those family gatherings.

The good news is that with a little thought and preparation, you can enjoy the holiday season without catching more than your family’s share of bugs going around. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Step up your sanitation practices

Keeping everything nice and clean can be difficult if you’re hosting guests for family dinners and parties. While it’s easy to focus on decluttering your home, this year consider shifting your attention to what really matters – sanitizing high-touch, high-traffic areas. Use a high-quality disinfectant / sanitizer to clean door knobs, light switches, entryways, bathrooms, counter tops and anywhere else people gather. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully, especially if you’re using it in areas where children, pets and food will be.

Make it easy to stay clean

People are more likely to wash hands and use sanitizers when it’s easy to do. This can be as simple as making sure you have soap, paper towels, skin cleansers and disinfectants readily available. Carefully stock your bathrooms with everything your guests will need. Additionally, consider making a few stations around your house with extra sanitizing supplies. Your front entryway, rear entryway and hallway are good spots.

Upgrade your regular cleaning products

Cleaning more often might help you keep germs at bay, but it might also expose you to a lot more chemicals than you want. Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice cleanliness to protect yourself from unwanted chemical exposure. By switching out your hard, chemical cleansers with non-toxic, multi-purposes cleansers, you can safely keep up the extra cleaning routine.

Be sure to select something that is safe on all surfaces, as well as non-toxic to pets and safe around children and eating surfaces.

Communicate your sanitation plan

Once you’ve cleaned everything, stocked your home with plenty of disinfectant and created strategic sanitation stations, you still have one critical task – communication. You should let everyone know your expectations when it comes to things like wearing masks and using hand sanitizers. Let everyone know your own plans for limiting the spread of germs and encourage everyone to stay home if they aren’t feeling well. You can even have a video-party option for family members that are far away, or particularly vulnerable to illnesses.

Concern over germs and illness doesn’t have to ruin your plans for holiday fun, it just means you have to adjust. With these small changes, you can make memories that last a lifetime without worrying about passing out the latest flu!

Tips For Building The Ultimate First Aid Kit

Trips, falls, scrapes and cuts…. Accidents happen and if you have kids, they happen even more often! By having a well-stocked first aid kit on hand at all times, you will be prepared for whatever life throws your way. You can always buy a pre-made first aid kit, but you’ll benefit greatly from building and tailoring your own to your family’s needs. This includes a kit for at home and one you can take with you on the go.

Here are a few helpful tips to help you build the ultimate first aid kit for your family.

  1. Consider your family’s size

The size of your family should determine how much you stock up on the basics, like bandages and gauze. If you have pets, you’ll want to include them in your planning as well. And remember, it’s important to replace the items you use along the way, otherwise your well-stocked kit will get depleted throughout the year.

  1. Emergency contact list

In a true emergency you should always call 911, but there are other phone numbers you will want handy as well. Even though you can look up numbers on your phone, having a personalized emergency contact list can be very helpful during a stressful situation. You should include numbers to poison control, emergency contacts within your family and friends, and your veterinarian if you have pets.

  1. First aid checklist

Unless you’ve built a first aid kit before, you might not know what to include. According to the Red Cross, a well-stocked first aid kit should have the following essentials:

2 absorbent compress dressings (5 x 9 inches) 25 adhesive bandages of assorted sizes
1 adhesive cloth tape (10 yards x 1 inch) Antibiotic ointment packets
5 antiseptic wipe packets Aspirin
1 emergency blanket
breathing barrier (with one-way valve) 1 instant cold compress
pair of nonlatex gloves
Hydrocortisone ointment packets
1 three inch gauze roll (roller) bandage 1 roller bandage (4 inches wide)
5 sterile gauze pads (3 X 3 inches)
5 sterile gauze pads (4 x 4 inches)
Oral thermometer (non-mercury/non-glass) 2 triangular bandages
Tweezers

Additionally, you may want to also consider adding:

  • Emergency First Aid guide
  • Nixall First Aid Solution
  • Nixall Wound and Skin Solution
  • VetRespons Wound + Skin Solution
  1. Medications

If any member of your family requires prescription medication, you should aim to have a one-month supply on hand. Just keep in mind, there may be limitations to access to prescribed medications, including insurance limitations. Talk with your healthcare professional and insurance provider for details and options. You should also include non-prescription medication, like over-the-counter pain relievers, digestive medication and even medication for motion sickness.

  1. Additional emergency items

After you’ve stocked your first aid kit with all the essentials, you can add critical items to make it even more robust. This turns an ordinary first aid kit into a survival tool that can help your family in any type of emergency situation, from power outages to severe weather. This includes flashlights, an emergency radio, energy bars and water and a fire-source such as all-weather matches. You can learn more about building a survival kit from Ready.gov, the official government preparedness website.

Building your own first aid kit allows you to tailor it to your family’s specific needs. It can also give you a sense of security to know that you’re well prepared. Just remember, you should store your kit in a secure location, letting responsible adults know where it’s located. Additionally, you should check on it periodically to make sure nothing’s leaked or compromised, and restock it as needed.
