Some other forum mentioned something about people who don't clean trolleys and don't don't sanitise before and after using trolleys...
Here's something to think about, how do you get said trolley from the trolley bay to the sanitation station without touching it???
I've seen so many grab a trolley, wheel it to a station to wipe down then carry on without even wiping their hands afterwards!  |

"I always carry hand sanitiser, even before covid so its simple to be hygienic."
I will in future cannnot undrstand the people that do not sanitise the trolley and there hands as they go in.
I have noticed that with all these extra hygene measures I have not yet got my winter cold and sore throat which I normally have by now,I will keep many habits long after covid |

I'm not sure it makes much difference. You can't catch it through your hands. As long as you are not in the habit of sticking your fingers up your nose or in your eyes and you wash them when you get home, you're probably fine. |

So they don't put their hands near their face ?
It's all a bit pointless as you touch sommany other surfaces and products in the shop anyway.
We do because it looks bad if you don't but the single most important thing is clean your hands before you touch your face, you can't contract Covid through your skin. |

I wear hand sanitiser and wipe the trolley from where I pick it up from but does seem a bit pointless as everything I buy isn’t sanitised and I put it in the fridge and cupboard when I get home and anybody infected could have touched what I bought moments before I did  |

"I sanitise trolley handles and basket handles with my gel and never pick my products from the front/top"
Yep, same here.
Although wiping basket handles is new, I've always chosen my shopping like that anyway. |

Its impossible to get said trolley to the sanitation station without touching it. So its pointless asking. Its not rocket science on the best practice of how to handle a trolley during a pandemic when supermarkets provide you with sanitation. |

I'm a manual wheelchair user. I apply sanitiser then touch my wheel rims and it's all for nought. I can't reach much of the stuff on the shelves (that's what my child and walking stick are for - child for hoiking into the air and walking stick to poke/hook things off shelves).
I use sanitiser on my hands before I go into the shop but in all honesty, I've got bigger fish to fry just negotiating the damned queuing system and finding one of the clip-on trolleys that's not broken/hidden out of sight/reach. I wash my hands as soon as I get home and don't lick the trolley handle - clinically clean, as my Granny would have said  |

They do at the posh ones I shop at. Get oneself to waitrose and they buy you a new trolley each time you shop, this is financed from what you overpaid for your shopping. |

This ^^^^^ Seems a bit futile to wipe trolley down then go and touch groceries that have been touched by others, also the check out person handles each and every item as they check them out at the til. |

What are you on about?
The staff clean them and put them in the bay. And even if they didn't. You literally take them to...
The sanitation station. Complete with hand sanitizer. |

Not sure about you but when I go shopping I pick up my groceries rather than touch as many things I am not buying as possible. Usually shelf stackers touch the products I buy and the person on the checkout also touches them. That's 2 people. Contact with products minimal time too.
A trolley have had loads of people touching on it for many minutes at a time. Breathing over it. Coughing over it. Sneezing over it.
I am quite sure that if a tin of beans was checked for germs after purchasing it would have less germs than a trolley...

All the shops I go in are fully topped up... Not that I go in that many... But they are doing OK. Its the punters who spread it. Disgusting creatures that we are. |

"Are people really so obtuse that they can't see that sanitising handles when going shopping doesn't remove risk but it does reduce it and any reduction is a good thing?"
More to the point if you pay by card over contract less do you use sanitizer befor and after putting your pin in.....

Our company manufactures antibacterial coatings and we have been working on applying the same technology for food packaging. The virus does survive on surfaces. Our local dentist and his hygienist wife caught covid and was traced from an outbreak with its source at the local coop store. |

I noticed the staff at sainsburys sanatising the trolleys in the trolley bay the other day. So I guess other supermarkets must do the same. |

"I never have enough shopping for a trolley. I end up going to the supermarket about 4 times a week though.
That’s exposes you far more than touching a trolley once a week....  "
You can only carry so much, so sometimes more than one trip a week is needed |

Still wipe down everything I bring into the house with a mild bleach solution (other than fresh stuff that will be cooked), including the milk bottles I have left on the doorstep. |

I wipe everything down with wet soapy sponge (or remove and dispose of outer packaging) before putting anything in the fridge or cupboards and am also constantly washing hands during the procces.
Break the link - like an earlier poster, no colds or coughs so far this year, so principal and methodology seems to be working. |

"We had Covid right at the start of lockdown 1 (end of March). I don't feel the need for wiping everything but if people feel safer, happier etc, then each to their own. "
Basic hand hygiene... Even without covid is a good thing. I'm amazed even now at the ignorance of how we spread germs |

I wash my hands thoroughly. I appeared to be the only person who stopped to use the sanitiser on the way into ASDA yesterday *shrug* |

Do you have any evidence that it's handling money abroad that causes most illness? As opposed to things like dirty water, poor hand hygiene leading to E.coli and other enteral bugs, especially on uncooked food like salads? Or insect borne disease/bites? |

Use to spend about half the year out of the country what money tested in India and Africa.
It is pore hand sanitizer stations sorted and hygiene hence went over to sanitizer about 3 years back not had problems from that point so it was about me and hands.... |

The people going in around me must have used theirs handsfree then. There was no standing outside and applying sanitiser and it's pointless applying in the car, then touching the car door etc. |

No and never have done.
Me neither! Had friends that did ! x

They certainly are! Knew this would raise some reactions when I originally posted it. Here we are a swingers site discussing supermarket trolleys & lord knows what other shit, now that's funny!
Now what about the shopping baskets??? |
