"The door to a public restroom — or most things in any restroom — are a hotbed of germs,” says Segal. “That's why automatic sinks and paper towel dispensers work well against the spread of virus. You don't have to touch them." If those aren’t available, use whatever is there and be sure to dry your hands thoroughly — germs cling to moisture, Segal explains. Hang onto your hand towel, or grab a new one, and use it to open the door to keep your hands clean.
Segal recommends bringing sanitizer wipes onto planes and cleaning every surface that touches you, like the airplane seats, touch screen, belt and tray. Traveling across land? Use sanitizer on your hands after dealing with car service belt buckles, train seats and subway poles. All told, hand-washing is a fine art well worth perfecting. “Hand-washing is one of the best ways of keeping you and your family healthy,” Laird says.
