SWINE FLU
January 2nd, 2011Since we have a new outbreak of swine flu do not forget the previous lessons usea good quality soap , hand sanitizer and a good quality hand towel do not use these electric hand driers they are not as good as a paper hand towel.
For general cleaning use a proven non toxic cleaner e.g. Activ8 as it will kill more bugs than any other product on the market.
