From parking meters to ATMs, public doors to credit card machines and even retail touchpads and drink dispensers — my hands and fingers have the potential to encounter a ton of foul germs. I wasn’t into that before COVID-19, and I’m certainly not now. Frankly, if you want to know just how germy surfaces in stores, restaurants and other spots are, read this study. Or don’t, it might give you nightmares.
That’s why I bought the CleanKey touch tool, which is now on sale for $17 with code MARKET15, during Black Friday last year. It’s design means you don’t have to touch most surfaces and it’s made of copper, which has antimicrobial properties. Because it’s attached to my keychain at all times, CleanKey is always handy, which makes pushing buttons, pulling levers, opening doors and virtually any other direct contact with foreign objects a thing of the past.
Is CleanKey perfect? Nope: It won’t instantly kill germs and viruses, and there are still some things you’ll have to touch, like certain screens that don’t respond to metal and door handles that require twisting. Disposable plastic gloves can do a better job of keeping things clean, but those are bad for the environment and unsightly, so they aren’t my choice.I love my CleanKey and so do reviewers: Over 1,000 Amazon reviewers give CleanKey a 4.5 out of 5 star rating.
