		<description><![CDATA[According to senior public health practitioners, Air Hand Dryers leave 254% more bacteria on hands. They recommend replacing them with paper towels &#038; dispensers]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-413" title="airdryer" src="http://blog.toiletpaperworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/airdryer-300x272.jpg" alt="airdryer" width="300" height="272" />For most of us, we are slightly disappointed to see air hand dryers in public restrooms after washing our hands. Environmental friendly factors set aside, those air dryers are just not as effective as old fashioned paper towels at getting our hands dry.  According to a  study by <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/effectmeasure/2009/02/hot_air_and_paper_towels_in_th.php">Effect Measure</a>, an independent group of senior public health practitioners, you may have one more reason to be disappointed to see those dryers –<strong> every time you use an air dryer, the amount of bacteria on your hands increases by 254% and on the finger pads by 194%.<br />
</strong><br />
Additionally, most of the older hand dryers in use (and even some of the newer ones) have an internal screen that should be changed every 1-2 weeks. Unfortunately, most are lucky if they are changed every 1-2 years. This sad reality is not only is a waste of energy, but also keeps more bacteria, germs, and viruses trapped in the dust on the screens, which then is blown directly onto our hands when we dry them.</p>
<p>With the flu epidemic continually gaining momentum, the safety of hand dryers became a major concern at many universities, schools, and other densely populated facilities. <strong>At the schools where outbreaks occurred, they became a big enough concern that health department officials ordered them removed and replaced with <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/category.aspx?categoryID=6645&amp;categoryLevel=2">paper towel dispensers</a>. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If a restroom you use still has a dryer, public health practitioners recommend to wash your hands, skip the dryer, and then dry your hands with <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/category.aspx?categoryID=6618&amp;categoryLevel=1">napkins</a>, <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/category.aspx?categoryID=6604">paper towels</a>, etc. in the vicinity.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Follow these flu prevention tips to safely avoid the flu and swine flu (H1N1) virus this season.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_288" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-288" title="flu safety" src="http://blog.toiletpaperworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/flu-safety-300x240.jpg" alt="Keep your kids smiling all year round with these flu safety tips! " width="300" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Keep your kids smiling all year round with these flu safety tips! </p></div>
<p>Kids (and parents!) have one more reason to dread going back to school this year – fear of contradicting the dreaded swine flu (H1N1) virus, especially given the fact the highest number of swine flu cases occurred in those between the ages of 5-24. Luckily, since schools broke for the summer last May, the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/">Center for Disease Control</a> (CDC) has learned much more about the H1N1 virus and has published a new list of precautions that if followed, will significantly reduce the chances of another outbreak from occurring and will also keep students (and teachers) safely in the classroom.  Follow the steps below to ensure a healthy and happy school year for all:</p>
<p><strong>Stay home for at least 24 hours even after flu-like symptoms disappear</strong><br />
Once the symptoms of the flu disappear (fever, nausea, etc.) remain home for at least an additional 24-hours.  Just because you feel 100%, doesn’t mean the flu has disappeared 100% from your body.  Give it an extra 24 hours to be safe.  Additionally, children under 5 years old and children in high-risk, high-contact facilities (daycare or childcare) should give themselves additional time to fully recover.</p>
<p><strong>Practice good hand hygiene</strong><br />
The quickest and fastest way to spread the flu is through hand contact.  Wash hands with <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/category.aspx?categoryID=6622&amp;categoryLevel=1" target="_blank">soap</a> &amp; water for AT LEAST 20 SECONDS; especially every time you cough or sneeze.  Teach your children to sing “Happy Birthday” to themselves twice when washing their hands as a good rule of thumb for a 20-second time frame.</p>
<p><strong>Use Alcohol-based Hand sanitizers</strong><br />
The best hand cleaners are alcohol-based and contain at least 60% alcohol, such as <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?skugroupdesc=Hand+Sanitizing+Spray+Bottles&amp;categoryID=6748">Clorox Instant Hand Sanitizer</a>.   If the school’s policies do not allow alcohol based hand cleaners, alternative sanitizers should still be used, such as <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?strSku=TXL%20L400" target="_blank">Care Wipes Alcohol-Free Wipes</a>, however they will not be as effective.</p>
<p><strong>Wipe ALL surfaces with disinfectants</strong><br />
Keyboards, doorknobs, and table tops are just a few of the most common places the flu virus can be spread from if touched.  Therefore, these surfaces should be disinfected routinely.  Try <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?strSku=CLO%2001593" target="_self">Clorox Disinfecting Wipes</a> to easily tackle this important task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the CDC confirming that H1N1 (Swine Flu) has surfaced in over 5 states, everyone is on alert. A mutated strain of Influenza, H1N1 (Swine Flu) is  contagious and dangerous if not treated quickly and effectively. However, there are ways to prevent getting sick.</p>
<p>1) Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-101" title="purell2" src="http://blog.toiletpaperworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/purell2.jpg" alt="purell2" width="240" height="240" /></p>
<p>2) Wash your hands often with <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?categoryID=6700&amp;categoryLevel=3">soap</a> and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?categoryID=6495&amp;categoryLevel=3">Alcohol-based hand cleaners</a> are also effective.</p>
<p>3) Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.</p>
<p>4) Try to avoid close contact with sick people- Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people. If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.</p>
<p>Stock up on all your <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?categoryID=6700&#038;categoryLevel=3">antibacterial hand soap</a>, <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/category.aspx?categoryID=6699&#038;categoryLevel=2">hand sanitizer</a>, and <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?categoryID=5818&#038;categoryLevel=2">disinfectant cleaners</a> at <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com">ToiletPaperWorld.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As cold and flu season rears its ugly head in thousands of home across the US, it’s important to remember that you have the power to stop the cold or flu in its tracks in your home. Here are a few easy, quick tips that can help keep your home germ free, especially during this challenging time of year: </p>
<p><img src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/e/ev/evah/894326_sneeze.jpg" alt="Sneezing" /></p>
<p><strong>Wash Your Hands</strong><br />
Cold and flu viruses may be spread by indirect contact. Washing your hands is the best way to prevent getting sick, especially if you wash with an <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?strSku=DIA%2002936">Antibacterial Soap</a>. Keeping lots of <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?strSku=GOJ%209606-24">Hand Sanitizer</a> on hand is also a good bet for preventing illness.</p>
<p><strong>Sanitize Common Areas</strong><br />
Doorknobs, toilets, trashcans, and countertops. These are the areas where germs can lurk and colds can be passed. To stop sickness in its tracks, use a disinfectant like <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?strSku=CLO%2001698">Clorox</a> to rid your home of bacteria, viruses, or other harmful germs. ToiletPaperWorld.com offers a great selection of <a href="http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/product.aspx?strSku=CLO%2001698">disinfectants</a> to help you get your home germ free. </p>
<p><strong>Drink More Water</strong><br />
According to Webmed.com, water can help strengthen your immune system, keeping the flu at bay. And if you do get sick, water flushes your system, re-hydrates you and washes out the toxins. An adult should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids each day. If the color of your urine is close to clear, then you are getting enough. If it&#8217;s deep yellow, drink more water.</p>
