Lysol® Germ-Cast™ is Helping to Protect My Loved Ones


This post is sponsored by Lysol


With COVID-19 still on the rise and flu season getting into full swing, I’m even more vigilant about keeping my house clean and disinfected to help protect my loved ones. I have to be extra careful as my daughter and I are both high-risk. One of the resources I have found to be really helpful is Lysol® Germ-Cast™. It not only tells me how many cases of COVID-19 are in my county (or whatever county I put in), but also shows flu incidence levels. Take a look below at ways it can help you, too.





 



What is Lysol® Germ-Cast™? 


First, please know that this resource is free(!) to use and available as an app and on your PC!


Lysol® uses information from public health company Kinsa. It provides daily up-to-date numbers for COVID-19, along with a 3-week flu forecast for any given county location. Not only that, you can use the Lysol® Germ-Cast™ app to find tips on how to help prevent the spread of illness-causing germs (this is HUGE for me and my family). 






Recently my girls and I were planning to take a day trip. But after looking at that county and seeing the numbers were going up, I decided it was best to stay home. We always wear our masks, but I still don’t want to take any chances. 


How to use Lysol® Germ-Cast™


Using Lysol® Germ-Cast™ is so easy. The app is available on both the Apple App store and from Google Play. Once you download, all you have to do is enter a zip code or city in the search field. From there, you can see the incident trends for COVID-19 or flu forecast. 







You can also use Lysol® Germ-Cast™ for cleaning tips. 


Cleaning and Disinfecting with Lysol® Did you know the kitchen is actually one of the dirtiest rooms in your house? The Lysol® Germ-Cast™ app has a great section on tips for cleaning and disinfecting. The first thing you need to do is head over to your favorite store that sells cleaning products (Walmart of Target for me). I highly recommend that you grab the Lysol® Kitchen Pro Antibacterial Cleaner and some Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes. Here are a few tips on how to deep clean your kitchen:








  • From top to bottom, spray surfaces with a disinfectant cleaner.*

  • Wipe down cabinet doors, backsplashes, counters and walls with a cleaning cloth. Grease and grime can build easily on these surfaces.*

  • Clean crevices around the sink and faucet with a toothbrush.

  • Flush drains with boiling water once a week.

  • Wipe down your dishwasher door with Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes.*

  • See their cleaning tips for even more information.







Please head over to the Lysol® Germ-Cast™ app to learn more about illness levels in your area and get tips from Lysol® on how you can help prevent the spread of illness-causing germs. I’m with you – I want to help keep my family as safe as possible. I’m so glad Lysol® made this, as it’s a quick and efficient way to know what’s going on right now. 


Please let me know how your family is doing during the pandemic. I hope you are all safe and healthy.

  7. I had no idea this app even existed! We haven't been venturing out hardly at all, since we have a newborn, but every time my husband makes a run he is on the lookout for Lysol products. They have helped us stay safe and healthy through Covid-19 and hopefully this flu season.
