3. Use air purifiers

Many people concentrate on cleaning hard surfaces to kill flu germs, many people forget about the air they are breathing.

Closed heating systems can recycle air within the home and allow bacteria and allergens to flourish. Air purifiers can cleanse the air of airborne particles including germs, allergens and spores.

4. Wash your linens

Flu germs can survive for “two to five hours” according to the CDC. This can mean that germs may linger on linens and towels, passing to others who come in contact with them.

Ensure you wash all linens in a hot wash and ensure that your hands are washed immediately after handling the dirty linen.
