Hygiene and Sanitation Tips

Another very important way of reaching out to your existing customers is giving tips on hygiene and sanitation. Good personal hygiene is paramount along with social distancing. There are many aspects of personal hygiene that we ignore in daily life. We wash hands as a habit, but not in a manner that is effective to fight the virus. But in a virus filled world good hygiene habits can be matter of life and death. Listed below are some of the things you can communicate with your customers.

How to wash hands?

Washing hands is so common that we do not, even for a moment, think there could be a method to wash hands. In times such as the one we are passing through it is worth looking at how to wash hands in a thorough manner so as to disinfect our hands effectively. Soap, it is said, is very effective. The method to use soap to scrub your hands is given by the World Health Organisation.

Footwear and Feet

Fortunately in our country we have the habit of removing footwear before entering a house. In Spain they found out that shoes were major carriers of the corona virus. Since in that country they do not have the habit of leaving footwear outside the house, they took their germs with them into their homes. The result was that the house was infected with the virus. But it is not sufficient to remove footwear. It is essential to dip the footwear in soap water for at least 20 seconds so that the virus on the footwear is killed. In addition it is essential to wash ones feet with soap water for better protection. Google search to get videos of how footwear and feet are to be washed.

Fruits and vegetables

When we buy fruits and vegetables it is important to wash the fruits and the vegetables thoroughly. This is done in most households any way. But now the requirement is different. Since we cannot use soap to wash such things, medical practitioners recommend vinegar or chlorine. Vinegar is available in many households readily. But there is a way to wash them. Do Google search to find out how.

Food and drinks (including milk) bought in sealed packets

Very often we buy provisions in plastic or aluminium packets. These packets can be washed in soap before opening them for use.

Newspapers

Paper also carries the virus, though for a shorter time. Very often the newspaper vendors spread the newspapers on the roadside so as to sort them. Naturally this makes the newspapers prone to contamination. It is best to keep the newspaper away, since one cannot wash or otherwise treat them. But check out on the internet how to make the newspapers free from contamination.

It is the detail that matters

There are a number of minor things that we take for granted in our daily lives. Unconsciously we buy a packet of milk and empty it into a vessel for boiling. But now we have to take the intermediate step of washing the milk packet before use. And we have to take care of washing our hands after washing the milk packet, to remove any trace of contamination. If all this sounds too much for you, it will be good to remember that if these precautions are taken for a few weeks, we will save ourselves and our family from the corona virus, assuming that we are strictly following social distancing.

Educate your customers on the detail

This is the time to re-build, re-assert and re-affirm your personal trust quotient in your relationship with your customer.
