Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Portable disinfectant (Lysol On-the-Go is a good brand)
• Hand sanitizer
• Clean water bottles

1. When you get on equipment, spray it with a portable disinfectant. You may want to spray the disinfectant onto a towel and then wipe down your equipment so that the air isn't filled with spray.
2. Use hand sanitizer after touching equipment that was used by someone who looks sick.
3. Make sure your water bottle doesn't make you sick with bacteria growth. Clean it daily with warm bleach water.

Tips & Warnings
