With H1N1 here, and seasonal flu season around the corner, taking small measures can help keep your family healthy. One of those measures is to sanitize your home with Lysol Cleaning Products.
Does LYSOL® kill Influenza A H1N1?
A. Laboratory tests have shown that many LYSOL® products, when used according to label instructions, are effective against similar strains of Influenza virus H1N1. These LYSOL® products include: LYSOL® Disinfectant Spray, LYSOL® Disinfecting Wipes, and LYSOL® All Purpose Cleaners, both pourable and trigger products.
How can families protect themselves from Influenza A H1N1?
Like all viruses, the best way to help prevent infection and protect your family is to follow proper hygiene routines. The following routines are recommended by the CDC:
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after   you use it.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
* Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
Keeping common surfaces such as countertops, doorknobs, and telephones sanitized with disinfectants such as LYSOL Disinfecting Wipes will help stop germs.

Wiping kitchen and bathroom surfaces down with disinfectant wipes and putting all our dishes in the dishwasher--the high heat of the dishwasher is supposed to kill germs a lot better than hand washing. Also using lots of hand sanitizer at work, especially since I work in a public school system. Thanks for the chance to win!

I'm being extra vigilant about handwashing and more aware of hands touching the face, which is one of the big ways that any kind of flu or rhinovirus gets spread.
