Put more focus on high-touch surfaces.
Tables and kitchen countertops are commonly cleaned, but there are high-touch surfaces that are often overlooked. A thorough cleaning of doorknobs, handrails, light switches, household gadgets, even walls in your home’s most used space, need to be cleaned and disinfected.
Use the cleaning product the correct way.
Did you know that most cleaning products should stay on the surface before you wipe it out? Some items are okay to be sprayed directly on a surface, some need to be sprayed onto a rag, some need to be diluted or cannot be used on certain surfaces. Some need special care, such as specially formulated wipes for baby items, gadgets, or even kitchenware. Whichever the case may be, read the label for instructions of each cleaning product carefully, so that you could get its full benefits, and your cleaning time won’t be put to waste.
Clean, then disinfect.
Did you know that cleaning and disinfecting are two different things? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, cleaning is when you remove germs and dirt. Disinfecting, on the other hand, is when you use chemicals to get rid of germs to stop it from spreading.
Wipe out any dust or grime on a surface, and then follow it up with a powerful disinfectant. It’s a one-two punch that all households should do nowadays!
Let the air circulate.
Keeping the windows and doors shut in the home may sound like you’re keeping the dust and dirt in, but that’s not necessarily the case. There’s a reason why outdoor areas are more preferred than staying indoors nowadays—proper air ventilation helps carry out any impurities there may be lingering indoors. Crack a window open and bring out the fan once in a while!
Take greater care of your clothes.
If you or anyone from your household goes out of the home, remember these tips before going back inside. Leave your shoes outside, or quickly disinfect them. Remove all clothing and store in a tightly sealed container, separate from the rest of your clothes inside your usual laundry hamper.
