So when someone in your house is sick, replace cloth hand towels and dishrags with paper towels.
Some germs can live in these spots for up to 24 hours, so make sure you clean with a disinfectant or disinfecting wipes, or quarter-cup of bleach mixed in 1 gallon of water.

And don't forget TV remotes, computers, laptops, and phones, too. Stopping the spread of germs means making sure you clean and disinfect hard surfaces such as countertops, tables, refrigerator handles, doorknobs, and faucets. Rub it all over your hands until they're dry. Keep a small bottle with you - at work, in your car, and in your purse. Hand sanitizer is the next best thing if you can't get to a sink. And remember to keep your hands away from your nose, mouth, and face. Don’t forget to wash between your fingers and under your nails. Rub your hands together with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (enough for two rounds of singing “Happy Birthday”). You have to do better than a quick rinse under the faucet. If you're taking care of someone who's sick, wash your hands before and after being with them. Wash before you eat or prepare food and after you use the bathroom or change a diaper. Once germs are on your hands, it's easy for them to get into your body when you touch your eyes or mouth. It's the single best way to avoid a cold.
You can protect yourself, though, if you know the right and wrong ways to deal with someone at home who’s under the weather. Germs spread more easily in tight spaces and can cause colds and the flu to hang around your house for longer. It can be tough to stay well when you're in close quarters with someone battling coughs, fevers, and sniffles.
