Summer Germs Don’t Take a Vacation: Hand Hygiene Tips for a Healthier Season
Summer brings sunshine, travel, camps, family vacations, and outdoor fun—but it doesn’t mean germs are taking time off. In fact, warm weather, increased gatherings, and shared spaces can create the perfect storm for bacteria and viruses to spread. Whether you’re managing a school facility, running a government office, caring for patients, or just heading to a backyard barbecue, proper hand hygiene is as important in the summer as any other time of year.
At B4 Brands, we believe that clean hands protect communities—and the planet. Here’s how you can stay healthy and sustainable this season.
🌿 Summer Hygiene Hotspots (And How to Handle Them)
1. Camps and Classrooms
Many schools and camps continue programming through the summer. With shared sports equipment, snack time, and group crafts, kids come into contact with plenty of germs. Stock up on Aterra Foam Hand Soap in restrooms and Avant Fragrance-Free Hand Sanitizer for portable, classroom-friendly use.
2. Summer Travel
From airports to amusement parks, travel means contact with high-touch surfaces. Keep Avant Instant Hand Sanitizer in travel sizes for personal use. Its skin-friendly, quick-drying formula makes it a favorite for both parents and kids.
3. Office & Government Buildings
With summer construction, utility work, and shifts in staffing, it’s easy to overlook hygiene stations. Now is a great time to audit hand soap and sanitizer availability at entrances, break rooms, and conference rooms. Aterra’s refillable dispensers and biodegradable formulas support sustainability goals while reducing plastic waste.
4. Healthcare & Dental Facilities
Even with lower patient volumes during summer, high hygiene standards remain critical. Avant sanitizers are healthcare-grade, dermatologist-tested, and made in the USA—so you can trust they’re tough on germs, not on skin.
