The bleach is used to wash down counters and such. The recommended ratio is 1% bleach to 10 % water. You can mix it in a spray bottle and use it that way. But it needs to be redone about every 10 days to keep it effectiveness.

I just got back from a couple of days in Las Vegas. I can't believe that I didn't see any hand sanitizer ANYWERE - and can you imagine a worst place to spread germs than a casino!!! Be sure to carry your own.

yikes! elbow to elbow, and all that dirty money!
My niece used to work in a bank and they used the purell and like products to both sanitize their hands and to remove ink from the new money.
Some cashiers have taken to wearing gloves, smart idea.

My daughter is at a credit union and they are really careful to provide both sanitizers and easy access to washing hands. It's pretty cool that most of the grocery stores, walmart, and a couple of others provide wipes to clean the basket first. Kudos to them!!

I don't either. I carry my own, and I sign things with my own pen.
Also, when I want to look at magazines on a rack or greeting cards...I have been doing this for years...I never pick up the one in front.
I also don't use the handicap stall in the bathroom anymore, and I am entitled.
It looks to me like the one most frequented.
Carefully tear off the end of the paper on the roll, and discard. The last person had not washed their hands yet. :roll:

Another endorsement for Airborne - I had to travel by plane between chemo cycles last year. I was more than a TAD anxious, because that meant my immune system was very LOW - practically non-existant. My oncologist told me to travel just before my next chemo, because my immune system would have built up a bit, and to take Airborne just before I got on the plane! I didn't catch anything from the plane ride.

That's an excellent tip, Joanne. I have a lot of immune system disorders, and had thought about all that recycled air on planes!
I am gonna have to check out this Airborne stuff. Seems so many really like it! :D
