School is almost out for the summer, and students are looking forward to the pool parties, travel and beach days ahead. Use these easy and effective tips to help prevent illness this summer to ensure children have a safe and fun vacation.
- Stay Clean: While kids are on summer vacation, school’s not out for germs. The fun outdoor activities keep children busy but also mean germs and bacteria are being spread throughout the home. Remember to disinfect areas in your home regularly to help prevent the spread of germs. Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and Lysol Disinfectant Spray kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on commonly touched surfaces in the home such as keyboards, doorknobs and tables. (When Used as Directed)
- Beat the Heat: The summer brings in longer days and beautiful sunshine that encourages us to enjoy the outdoors. However, it’s important to keep children protected against the sun’s ultraviolet rays and intense heat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that even young and healthy people can get sick from the heat while participating in summertime physical activity. To avoid heat-related illness, make sure children are using sunscreen and wearing loose and light-colored clothing when outside.[1]
- Prepare for Picnics: The warm summer weather encourages perfect moments for family picnics. Preparing ourselves for a healthy picnic doesn’t stop at sunscreen or wearing the right clothing, but with the right products that help us leave no harsh chemical residue behind on surfaces we eat. Grab the new Lysol Daily Cleanser – made with only three ingredients & has no harsh chemical residue which makes it safe to use on food contact surfaces.
Healthy habits aren’t just for the school year—use them in the summertime to help stay well! For more information and tips to help keep your family healthy, please visit Lysol.com.
