This phase I trial studies the side effects of Nozin in preventing respiratory viral infections in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. Nozin is a non-antibiotic, alcohol-based nasal sanitizer used in hospitals to prevent spread of bacterial infections and may also prevent community acquired respiratory virus infection in stem cell transplant recipients.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Beginning 7 days prior to transplant, patients receive Nozin via nasal single-use popswabs or single-use cotton tipped applicators and swab the inside of their nose two times daily (BID) up to 100 days after transplant.

ARM II: Patients receive standard of care.

After completion of study, patients are followed up every week for 6 weeks and then every alternate week until day 100.
