We had a renter last spring who was obviously a germaphobe. Instead of asking the rental management company to launder all of the bed linens (even though they were clean -- she was the first renter after the deep clean), she washed all of the linens and put them out outside to dry. Unfortunately, two sets of pillow shams must have blown away because they were gone after her group left. And of course, the shams that matched the duvet covers were no longer available.
My husband's corporation sent out an email to its employees that reminded them to avoid touching door handles, as well as all of the items in post number 1. So I keep Purell by my side all of the times. I use the bottom of my shirt or jacket to open doors or push elevator buttons. I Purell after handling money in the fast food line or at an ATM. I'm especially careful at work because of my student with the carbuncle that is growing again.
I have found out that most people I know have the same practices as well -- they just won't admit it because they think they're the only ones.
