1. A hefty kit of Purell hand sanitizers, including wipes, pump bottles, and travel-size bottles that'll help kill the germs constantly being transferred to your hands whether you're at home, in the car, at work, etc.
2. A Germ Guardian air purifier that claims to reduce up to 99.97 percent of harmful dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens, so whether you're sick or trying not to be, you can ensure that the air you're breathing isn't making your symptoms worse.
3. A bottle of Lysol laundry sanitizer additive that can kill 99.9% of bacteria (like staphylococcus aureus and klebsiella pneumoniae). Simply add it to your rinse cycle and trust it to de-germ your garments. Plus, it contains 0% bleach to get the job done.
4. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tabs to remove all the grime from inside your machine and stop it from having hidden residue, that way you can ensure your dishwasher is actually cleaning those germy cups and utensils.
5. A squeegee broom guaranteed to pick up hidden hair and particles embedded into the carpet. No one wants to be trying to fight a cold while still coughing and sneezing due to all the hidden allergens surrounding you. The 100% natural rubber brush picks up pet hair like a magnet and easily removes hair from carpets, rugs, hardwood, and linoleum.
6. A bottle of mold and mildew remover, because all of that gunk (especially when you're stuck in the house with it) can sometimes lead to stuffiness, wheezing, eye irritation, and more. This isn't going to help when you're trying avoid feeling like crap. Just apply the gel on the surface, let it sit for 7-8 hours, and rinse it off — no scrubbing required!
7. A couple bottles of Lysol all-purpose cleaner to help get rid of viruses and other scum on your counters, appliances, bathroom, and more, while leaving behind a fresh lemon scent.
8. An extendable microfiber duster set that'll reach the toughest (and probably dustiest) areas of your home. That way you won't be sneezing and itching your eyes from all the dust and then spiral, thinking you've got the flu.
9. Two bottles of a no-rinse, no-wipe disinfectant spray that claims to kill 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, and fungus. So you can spray down your whole house and sleep better at night knowing WAY fewer germs are invading your space. AND it doesn't leave any fumes or chemical residue behind.
10. A Fur-Zoff pet hair remover that'll easily sweep away fur from your carpets, couch, and chairs, which may be causing your face to swell and itch — also making you think you're dying a slow death.
11. A set of drill brushes so you can remove any of that hard-to-clean grossness that's caked up on your stove, shower, or floor. It may take some time and effort now, but at least you won't have to worry about that yucky bacteria invading your space while you're just trying to live.
12. A non-toxic daily shower spray to keep the residue and bacteria away. Plus, you don't even have to rinse it off! It's a lazy, yet effective away to make sure the place where you're washing away the germs is, well, clean.
13. And an antibacterial toilet bowl cleaner, because no one wants those unmentionables floating into the air (especially if you've been a little under the weather and spending a lot of time on the toilet).
14. A pair of small deep clean scrub brushes to get all of the cracks and crevices squeaky clean — you never know what's hiding in there, especially if you've been tracking outside germs throughout the house.
15. A PhoneSoap device that uses UV light to sanitize your device so you're not constantly transferring tons of germs every time you scroll or hold it up to your face.
16. A microfiber dusting glove so you can eliminate the dust particles that have been collecting on your blinds and shelves. These types of allergens can also be mistaken for a common cold.
17. A rust stain remover to get rid of any unappealing rust, because when rust gets into the air, it can also cause irritation for some people, like dust.
18. A container of Clorox disinfecting wipes that can help you quickly (and easily) take care of 99.9% of germs on almost any surface from the bathroom to the kitchen. These may just be your new best friend.
19. A set of straw-cleaning brushes for getting the gunk out of your travel cups and reusable straws so you're not drinking up germs, especially if someone else you live with has been sick recently.
20. And a pair of dusting slippers that you can shuffle around the house in to keep the floors clean from any unwanted fuzz and dust, adding to your fear of being ill when really it's just an annoying stuffy nose.
