Do We Need to Disinfect Our Homes? YES!

Keeping our homes clean and disinfected will definitely prevent the spread of germs and infectious diseases.  When a home disinfection service is needed its important to declutter and clean up as much as possible. Germs are hiding everywhere especially on objects that you touch often.

Studies from the CDC have shown that some viruses can actually stay infectious on surfaces for days, not just hours.  So it’s important to start practicing a daily hygiene routine with your family and home. This will help decrease the spread of viruses. 

What To Use:

 Soap and water: This is your first port of call. Cleaning all your surfaces with soap and water needs to become routine. Especially with regards to the high traffic and high touch areas in your home.

Disinfectant:  diluted household bleach solutions that you can make at home (4 teaspoons household bleach with 1-quart water), alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, or household cleaners and disinfectants that state on their packaging that they kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.

 Make sure you follow manufacturers’ instructions and have windows open for good ventilation when cleaning. Remember to keep surfaces wet for at least 10 minutes before drying.

Wiping Down 

Ensure you’re wiping down with disinfectant all the high traffic and high touch areas in your homes, such as kitchens, all counters, dinning room table, bathrooms and desks, keyboards, cell phones, door handles, light switches, remote controls, and even your car steering wheel and dashboard. Once you bring in your grocery supplies, unpack them, spray them with disinfectant, pack them away, and then wipe down the area the bags were placed. Discard the grocery store bags, do not reuse. Then wash your hands thoroughly.

Floors

Although your hands aren’t touching the floor every day, your shoes and pets are able to bring bacteria and viruses from outside, into our homes. So make sure to disinfect your floors as well. This is very important!

 Laundry

 Laundry items such as clothes, towels, and linen, use the warmest appropriate setting, and dry items completely. 

 We are in this together!
