Myth And Fact About Germs

Myth: Antibacterial products keep germs at bay.

Fact: They can, but overuse has been linked to antibiotic-resistant superbugs, which is one reason the American Medical Association doesn't support their everyday use. Hand sanitizers are great when you can't get to a sink, but soap and water, the old-fashioned way of washing, is still the best method for killing bacteria. Wash your hands frequently and properly for at least 20 seconds at a time (or the time it takes you to sing "Happy Birthday") with soap and warm water.

So while antibacterial products can help keep germs at bay, they also help create antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Sounds scary! I don't know about you, but I like my bugs "mini," not "super!" Germ Free Remotes can help you avoid germs without using antibacterial products.
