Staying (Lung) Safe this Holiday Season

One thing I have done at our home is to stop spraying things into the air, thus avoiding a huge amount of irritating and pollution. Squeeze bottles work just fine, a squirt on a cleaning cloth or a counter is all I need.
My go-to favorites are Alcohol bottles as my old, arthritic hands don’t work the best. A small thing to improve air quality.

@sharry That's a great suggestion. We have all seen how a spray bottle will send small droplets into the air and all you need to do is wet a cloth or paper towel . I do like the bottles with flip caps as they are easiest to open. If you had a spray bottle, you could also hold the cloth against the nozzle while you spray it, so it catches the liquid instead of spraying it into the air.

Sharry we gifted our daughter and her family biweekly house cleaning instead of material gifts this Christmas, but not until we interviewed the company owner to be sure they would clean with unscented products and minimize spray due to family sensitivities. It is awesome ‐ she also opens windows while she works to clear the air of any residue even faster. It is awesome when others "get it".

PS My friend and I drive " no scent" cars when our group carpools. We have a lot of people who prefer to ride with us, saying they feel better when they get home. Our community clubhouse is a no smoking & no perfume zone to accommodate delicate lungs and allergies. It is heavenly to socialize, eat, dance, play cards, etc and to come home still able to breathe.
