Back to School = Back to Germs: Here’s How to Stay Ahead This Season

Kyma Back to School

Back-to-school season is here—and while we’re all busy labeling lunchboxes and shopping for notebooks, there’s one thing many of us forget to prep for: germs.

Yes, with school doors opening, so does the annual wave of sniffles, coughs, and the all-too-familiar flu season. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. A few small habits can go a long way in keeping your kids (and your home) healthy.

1. Sanitize Belongings, Daily

Backpacks, water bottles, lunchboxes, tablets—they go to school and come back carrying… everything.
Give them a quick spray with Kyma Multi-Surface Disinfectant when your child gets home. It’s powerful enough to kill 99.9999% of germs (thoroughly lab-tested and approved), but still safe enough to use around kids and pets.

2. Shoes Stay at the Door

It’s simple: what’s on their shoes doesn’t need to come inside.
Create a no-shoes policy at home to avoid tracking germs (and dirt!) all over your floors.

3. Wipe Down High-Touch Areas

Doorknobs, light switches, lunch prep surfaces, and even your phone—
These are the places germs love to hide. Make it a habit to wipe them down regularly with a safe disinfectant like Kyma.

4. Keep Hands—and Habits—Clean

Encourage regular hand washing before and after school, especially before meals.
If you’re packing their hand sanitizer, go for gentle, non-drying formulas they’ll actually want to use.

5. Make It Easy to Clean on the Go

Keep a mini cleaning kit in your car or by the entryway:

  • Travel-size disinfectant spray (refill it from your Kyma bottle!)

  • Tissues

  • Hand sanitizer

  • Spare face mask (just in case)
