When cold and flu season hits, germs spread faster than gossip at a tea party. One sneeze in the office or a shared pen at the clinic and boom, half the team’s off sick. But here’s the good news: staying hygienic isn’t complicated when you’ve got the right tools. At Livingstone International, we offer the best cleaning supplies to help keep you, your space, and your loved ones safe.

Let’s be honest, basic soap and water can only do so much. To effectively tackle germs, you need hygiene cleaning products specifically designed for the job. Whether it’s your home, business, or facility, the right products make all the difference.
Why Hygiene Matters More Than Ever
You can’t always see germs, but trust us, they’re everywhere during cold and flu season. Work desks, door handles, waiting rooms, shared remotes, and reception counters they’re all playgrounds for bacteria and viruses.
That’s why we always say: don’t wait for symptoms to strike. Preventive hygiene is key. And no, this doesn’t mean scrubbing your entire building with a toothbrush. You just need the right products and a regular cleaning routine.
