2020 has reinforced the need for all sorts of healthy habits such as not smoking, adequate sleep, and proper hand hygiene.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization have reminded us of the importance of wearing a mask, staying six feet apart from others, and washing your hands often, or using hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available. 
The collective awareness of germs and where they lurk has established hand hygiene’s place on the list of long-term healthy habits. Part of a healthy hand hygiene routine, especially as people begin spending more time outside of their homes, includes hand sanitizer. Here are some compelling reasons to never leave home without Germ-X®.

Soap and Water Aren’t Always Available
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, “especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
“If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.”
The CDC advises the following times as the most important for hand-washing:
- Before eating or preparing food
- Before touching your face
- After using the restroom
- After leaving a public place
- After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
- After handling your mask
- After changing a diaper
- After caring for someone sick
- After touching animals or pets
Most Americans encounter the above scenarios throughout the day, and soap and water are only available some of the time, if at all. Carrying a travel-sized hand sanitizer in your pocket, purse or car ensures you’ll have the ability to reduce bacterial counts on your hands after you’ve encountered germs and before you’re able to access soap and water.
