Usually back to school time means excitement and anticipation- but this year is a little different. Whether your kids are going back to the classroom for in-person learning, or virtual learning, or maybe a little of both, you will want to implement safety precautions.

We certainly can’t control all variables, but we can take steps to reduce our exposure to the virus – at home and away.

Back to College – Don’t forget your kids heading back to their college dorm or off-campus apartment.  Send them back with an easy-to-use, easy-to-store Disinfectant like JAWS.  They can clean and disinfect in one easy step.  Simply spray, let it sit, then wipe clean.  There are no promises they’ll use it, but at least you can take comfort in knowing they have it.

Disinfectants and Wipes – Wipes? Who are we kidding?  It’s been a challenge to find wipes this year.  Traditional spray disinfectants work just as well, if not better.  Just be sure when purchasing a disinfectant spray cleaner to look for an EPA Registered disinfectant that is on EPA’S List N.  All products on this list meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. 

As we see increased usage of Disinfectants and wipes at home and away, it is a good idea to store back-ups. Multiple JAWS refill pods are very small and can easily be stored in drawers, purses, or backpacks.   

Disinfectant High Touch Surfaces – When we think of disinfecting, we usually think of kitchen countertops and bathrooms, but it’s important to disinfect high-touch surfaces in your home such as door handles, appliances, remote controls, game consoles, keyboards, and touch screens.   

If you’re driving the neighborhood carpool, keep a disinfectant and roll of paper towels in your car to disinfect door handles, safety belts, steering wheel, and dash buttons.  Consider rubber floor mats instead of carpeted mats, so you can clean and disinfect them regularly.

Be sure to always read the label and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  With most Disinfectants, you should spray and allow it to sit for a few minutes before wiping it to kill the viruses and bacteria.
