Remember Your Postal Carrier – Disinfect Your Mailbox
One of the things that has continued, is the delivering of mail. If you have mail delivered to your home, you can help protect the safety of your postal carrier by disinfecting your mailbox!
Just take some soapy water and a paper towel or rag and give your mailbox a little scrubbing. Make sure to get the handle or anything that the postal carrier would touch on a regular basis.
Be sure to wash your hands when you return inside, and as a matter of course, you should be washing your hands after handling the mail, especially the bills!
