Sanitary & Sustainable: 5 Eco-Friendly Products For Your Germ Killing Needs

Now more than ever can we relate to germaphobes. COVID-19 has made us all re-evaluate our daily habits and how we clean our everyday objects and protect ourselves from germs, but are we also re-evaluating what these supplies' impacts are on the planet? With the influx of people wanting to sanitize anything and everything, these five products make sure you're staying squeaky clean in a smart and sustainable way!

1. Green Works Compostable Cleaning Wipes

Green Works provides an alternative to Clorox wipes while still keeping everything clean and de-germed.

They work to:

" • Remove dirt and grime... to clean any surface around your home

•...biodegrade and can be tossed in the compost to help reduce waste

• Get a powerful clean with these multi-purpose wipes in a pleasant Original Fresh scent

• Safely wipe down messes in any room on multiple surfaces including counters, appliances, sinks and toilets

• ...naturally derived cleaning wipes don't use harsh chemical fumes or leave behind a residue"

2. Casetify UV Sanitizer

This UV Sanitizer does it all, and it's something we all could use more than ever considering how much time we're probably spending with electronic devices. From your phone to your headphones this case utilizes UV light to kill bacteria and germs off your electronic devices without harming them. Per its description on Casetify's website, "it destroys 99.9% of germs that live on your phone's surface, and 100% of its proceeds go to GlobalGiving's Coronavirus Relief Fund."

3. Zoë Chicco Foaming Jewelry Cleaner

Jewelry is something that you don't probably think to sanitize very often, as we have a tendency to keep it on our bodies majority of the time, or in a storage where we assume that it hasn't been in contact with anything else. Your jewelry can pick up lots of germs from every day wear, and whether it's fashion jewelry or the real deal you definitely need to give it some extra attention here and there to sanitize it and give it a little extra shine. Zoë Chicco's foaming formula is BIODEGRADABLE, and comes with a cute little brush for you to scrub all the nitty gritty crevices in your favorite pieces! I's also super gentle so it won't harm any precious stones or metals!

4. Clean Safety Green Eco-Vinyl 4mil Disposable Gloves

SO, next time you're shopping make sure you look for this eco-friendly version of your fav hand sanitizer and recycle that bottle once you clean out that sucker!

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
