Handkerchief Use
17 Answers
I popped out to Co op earlier and stood behind a man (2m) who was using a handkerchief to blow his nose and then put it back in his pocket. He then went into the store and started doing his shopping, probably picking things up, looking at them and putting them back again as a lot of us do when shopping.
Other people will then pick these items up and I'm hoping like me, will wash everything purchased.
I've never liked handkerchiefs but I know many use them and regularly wash them (I hope).
How do you feel about these given the situation we're in at present and that we're told to bin tissues after each use and then wash our hands.

However, if I had a cold, I would be using a drenched handkerchief to blow my nose and would end up with a really sore, scabby nose which was painful to wipe properly. I remember mum soaking all our hankies in a bucket of bleach water. Then, she would boil them up in a saucepan. Dark days indeed. Thank goodness for Handy Andies.
