Winter is upon us and that means so are the dreaded colds and flus that go with it. The majority of us suffer every year to some extent and many have a number of tricks they use to try and keep colds and flu at bay. Dettol want to hear your tips for preventing colds and flu.
Here’s what Dettol have to say: “Whilst Dettol started by preventing infection and sickness in hospitals in the UK, our brand’s mission was always much bigger. In order to help keep people healthy, Dettol needed to protect families as part of their every-day lives in the home. Fuelled by our passion to do more and backed by our expertise in killing germs, Dettol products are designed to help you protect your family from harmful germs that can cause illness. Our range of Dettol Surface Cleansers kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses and can be used all over the home. Available in a range of formats such as trigger spray as well as surface or floor wipes.”
Do you load up on vitamin C when you feel the first inklings of illness? Are you regimented when it comes to washing your hands and telling your grandchildren to cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough? Whatever your cold and flu prevention tips are please share them below.
Everyone who posts below before Thursday 15th December will be entered into a prize draw where one gransnetter will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).
Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!

My son takes Immunace and claims that it really works for preventing colds and such. Keeping the home as germ free as possible, especially when little poorly ones are round is definitely recommended 
wash hands and a spoon full of honey
If I am out and about, I will not touch door handles with bare hands, I use gloves or my coat sleeves! I try to avoid sitting right next to people on public transport, if I think they look full of cold or flu, the main thing, get your flu-jab, even if you have to pay, it's worth it, so many friends say to me "No fear, I'll not pay for that!". Silly mistake. Also try to eat as healthily as you can, a good diet goes a long way!
