How to Use Sanitizing Towelettes

Life is dirty. Everyday activities such as opening doors, touching desks and using keyboards can leave your hands surprisingly germ laden. Sanitizing towelettes let you clean your hands, face or feet when a sink and soap aren't available. Sanitizing towelettes remove the substances that contain bacteria, such as mud and grit, from your skin. Sanitizing towelettes contain different products from lavender and vinegar to rubbing alcohol. Some companies package their sanitizing towelettes inside a large container or resealable package. Other manufacturers wrap each towelette individually inside a disposable package to preserve maximum moisture and efficacy.

Instructions

• 1

  Brush any large or obvious chunks of dirt or grit off your hands, feet or face. Removing the larger particles of dirt and grime lets the sanitizing towelette focus on the less-conspicuous contaminants.

• 2

  Open the container or tear open the towelette packaging. Remove and unfold the towelette. Reseal the container or discard the individual packaging.

• 3

  Wipe the towelette firmly over your hands, face or feet. Pay extra attention to less-obvious places, such as between your fingers and toes. If cleaning your hands, wipe the towelette over and under your fingernails where bacteria and dirt accumulate.

• 4

  Repeat steps one through four until the the towelette no longer shows dirt after rubbing your skin. Use multiple towelettes, if required.
