Doorknobs have a high concentration of germs that could start spreading, particularly if you have family members or guests that are sick.
How many times does someone in your family open or close a door? We need to be conscious of germs on doorknobs for two main reasons: firstly, due to the amount they get used every day. And secondly, because four out of five illness-causing germs are spread by hands!1
With our guide, find out how to disinfect your doorknobs with Lysol® to help create a safer, happier home.
