Germs, viruses, masks, sanitisers and all such synonyms or related words have become the norm since the pandemic began in 2020, and this book is here at the right time. Knowing how germs operate is pertinent knowledge today to stay safe and protect your loved ones, especially those who are aged or otherwise compromised. Because that's the most important thing of all.

Germinator talks about everything germs, right from how they come about to what makes them thrive, how they stay on surfaces, and the best ways to protect yourself from them. This is a very practical and handy book that contains information we should all have ready to go.

Germinator: The Germ Girl’s Guide to Simple Solutions in a Germ-Filled World by Tricia Holderman is a very interesting book that is easy to comprehend and has everything we need to know to keep our family healthy and far from germs.
The author provides very precise and interesting information that I truly didn’t know. It was told so much about germs during these years due to COVID that people, and I include myself, got a bit confused. This book helped clear my doubts about it. I would certainly recommend reading it to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get rid of germs and viruses

I think that in my lifetime I have never listened to and talked so much about diseases, germs, viruses, and vaccines as I have been doing since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. This infection is real and has affected a lot of people but, in my opinion, most of the information, especially the one provided by non-professionals in healthcare, is confusing and not accurate. This provokes fear and worry among people. This is why I really enjoyed this book. Germinator, written by Tricia Holderman, explains in simple terms how to protect ourselves and our families from bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Readers will be able to read about the appropriate ways of cleaning our houses as well as staying germ-free outside of them, among other interesting information.
I found this work extremely insightful and helpful. The topics are explained very clearly and detailed. This makes the understanding of some issues that may seem difficult at the beginning, very simple. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in being healthy

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter Guide
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022

If you are looking to get a starter guide to understanding the basics of germs and the difference between sanitizing and sterilizing, then this book is a great place to start. With all the cleaning TikToks and germ-fighting YouTube channels out there, its nice to find something written by a professional in the field of safety-based cleaning. It gives insight into chemicals/products used and when to use them. The book does come off as a little more germophobic than the average person might be looking for, but the information is solid. However, it does not go into a lot of detail about how to properly clean certain surfaces that some readers might be in quest of, which is why I bumped it down to 4 stars. I felt like it could have been a little longer and given some more examples of what to do versus what to avoid. A good place to start though on your quest for a cleaner, safer living environment.

“Germinator: The Germ Girl's Guide To Simple Solutions In A Germ-Filled World,” by Tricia Holderman is a wonderfully informative guide that everyone needs to read in order to assist in preventing the spread of germs and keeping yourself and your family safe. Let’s face it, we’re living in a pandemic world (with seemingly no end in sight) and there are a ton of people out there who either are too tired of it all to care about germs or are simply lacking the knowledge about them to prevent the spread of infection and illness. If you are curious about everything that is germ related, this is the book for you.

In a world where cleanliness is more important than ever, the author of this book has taken her passion and put it together to give us great advice and how to keep us clean and safe from germs both inside our houses and outside. Giving advice for places such as public transportation, hospitals and more, the book is a wealth of information of Common Sense, good advice, and tips that will make our lives easier and safer. It was a very easy read, and while I knew a lot of the things already. It was still a good collection of resources and reminders that will keep me in my family safe.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent way to get real about handling hygiene

This book is an easy but comprehensive read about all things germ-related. How they survive and thrive, how to kill or avoid them, and how they get into your body and cause damage are all clearly written here, and it's a great read for everyone in today's pandemic-freaked world. There's a lot of reason to be safe, but we should have been taking these precautions all along because germs have been here the whole time. Reading this book gives me a lot of different perspectives and solutions without throwing me into "germ overdrive" and paranoia.
