Electronic Devices Tablets and phones touch our hands and faces and are often shared with children, turning them into a major source of germs. Clean devices weekly with a product that does not contain harsh chemicals (for example, bleach) as this can cause damage. Using a longer lasting protection
Car Seats
To clean it properly, remove the seat to allow access to all the nooks and crannies. Vacuum all visible debris then wash the cover on a cool hand-wash setting and air dry. Use gentle soap to clean plastic components. Pay special attention to the harness as this is
integral in keeping your child safe. Carefully follow manufacturer’s instructions. Finally, spray with a microbe shield to protect the seat from germs for longer.
Nappy Bags and School Bags Bags touch several surfaces and could therefore be a haven for germs responsible for colds, the flu or food poisoning. Bags left in warm areas (for example, hanging by a radiator or inside the car) are at particular risk. Use warm soapy water to wash plastic and insulated bags every day, then leave to dry thoroughly. For cloth bags, wash weekly in a washing machine as per manufacturer instructions. To help protect for longer, once dry, spray with Zoono Surface Spray.
