Oust Disinfectant and Air Sanitizer

Recently, a stomach virus made its way through my neighbor's house. It started with her son, who apparently brought the virus home from school. The next day, his younger sister was struck with the virus. Just as her son was starting to get better, the mother came down with the same virus, followed the next day by the father. Before they knew what was happening, it started making its rounds all over again. It took two weeks before everyone in their house was healthy again, and that only happened after the mother decided to sanitize their home from top to bottom.

We are all exposed to countless germs every time we go out in public. The bad news is that avoiding these germs is nearly impossible, and that the exposure to these germs can turn into a virus running rampant, just as it did at my neighbor's house.

The good news is that we can all take preventative measures. To start with, your hands should be washed often, especially at any point when they might come in contact with your mouth. If you are unable to get to soap and water, waterless hand sanitizers can be a good replacement. Used tissues should be thrown away, rather than left on surfaces that might become contaminated. An annual flu vaccination can go a long way in preventing or limiting the spread of certain strains of the influenza virus. And you can spray any surfaces that you believe might be contaminated with a disinfectant spray.

Oust Surface Disinfectant and Air Sanitizer kills 99.9% of germs and viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces. Staph, salmonella, and rotavirus are just a few of the many bacteria, viruses, and fungi killed by this powerful spray. It can also work as a temporary sanitizer when used as an air freshener spray, eliminating odor-causing bacteria in the air. Available in three scents, Clean, Outdoor, and Citrus, Oust Surface Disinfectant and Air Sanitizer leaves behind a pleasant scent, rather than a strong chemical odor. With a suggested retail price of $3.99 for a 12 oz, ozone-friendly aerosol can, this sanitizing spray can save you money that would otherwise be spent on medicine and doctors visits.
