Wash Your Filthy, Germy Winter Gloves!

Your winter gloves may protect you from the cold, but they won't protect you from germs! Many people use their gloves as a tissue without even thinking about it! Yuck! We wash our hands often during cold and flu season, but what about our gloves, mittens and scarves? Try not to touch ATM buttons, crosswalk buttons, shopping carts, escalator railings or any other common, germy surfaces with your gloves. It's much easier to sanitize your bare hands. Experts recommend washing your hands when you take your gloves off, and to wash them once a week.

Here's how to wash your gloves the right way!

Whatever you do, DON'T take your gloves off with your mouth!
