That’s smart! I’m going to have to remember that.
Gas station handles always squicked me anyways. But I’m a germphobe in the best of circumstances.
We need a list of ‘great ideas’.
I also tossed a tub of Clorox disinfecting wipes in my car in case of an emergency and I have some nitrile gloves in my console should they ever come in handy.
Also, since both heat and UV disinfect, I’m figuring that especially once summer comes, I can easily disinfect my car by letting it sit out in the sun all day. That metal gets HOT even here in NY or NH.
Why is China spraying disinfectant everywhere? My answer is that the virus is on every surface inside and out, including the sidewalks and streets.
When I have to go out to the store I have wipes in my pocket and use them to touch the few things that I need. I don’t touch anything else. I use a wipe on the credit card keypad, and alway use the credit option, since it is less keys to press.
I also wear slip on/slip off shoes and take them off outside when I get home. I have a paint roller tray and a bottle of spray disinfectant out there. I spray the bottoms of my shoes and leave them out there in the tray until next time. And then I spray the entry way into the house for good measure.
I wipe my purchases down or wash them in the sink (fruit and vegetables). I also wipe my keys and my phone, which I try never to take out of my pocket in public. And then of course scrub my hands and face.
I’m now trying to work out a system where I only use one set of clothes to go out and then take them off afterwards and throw them directly into the washer.
I might start wearing nitrile gloves too.
