The PPE Gap No One Is Thinking About
PPE is no longer an unfamiliar acronym in today's lexicon. Personal Protective Equipment is everywhere... almost. You've got masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and wipes, but what are you doing to clean one of the dirtiest items you touch every day? Credit cards are the forgotten germ carriers everyone is handling, and Tēko has just what you need to keep them clean too.
The Dirtiest Thing You Touch Is Your Credit Card
In multiple studies, credit and debit cards were found to have worse germ scores than such unsanitary items as a urinal handle or the subway poles in New York City. They also had had more different types of bacteria than cash and coins, which are generally thought to be “dirtier” due to the amount of people handling them. You may not realize how many germs your card comes in contact with, even if it never leaves your hand.
