We all know that sanitizers kill viruses on our hands but what the surfaces in our home? Besides hiring professional Charlotte house cleaning service in a periodic manner, here are a few essential tips you can abide by to keep your house safe during COVID-19 pandemic.
Clean places you touch frequently:
Health experts say that COVID-19 can be alive on surfaces such as cardboard for 24 hours and even longer on stainless steel and plastic. So cleaning & disinfecting frequently touched surfaces is a step you must take. These surfaces include:
- Hard dining chairs
- Kitchen counters
- Doorknob
- Gas stoves
- Faucets
- Table surfaces
- Light switches
All houses aren’t the same so think regarding the surfaces you touch the most. First clean & then disinfect.
- Wash all surfaces to take away dust, debris or contaminants. Wipe it down properly with soap water.
- Apply a surface-appropriate disinfectant. The fastest way is to make use of a strong disinfectant spray.
- Wear disposable gloves
- Ensure there’s sufficient ventilation in the area you’re cleaning.
- Make use of a diluted bleach solution or an alcohol-based solution with a minimum of 70 percent alcohol content.
- Clean your hands properly by using soap.
Clean the soft surfaces:
Besides hard surfaces there’re softer surfaces in your home that requires proper attention as well. For more delicate items such as rugs, drapes, carpeted floors, you can do the following:
- Clean the surface using soap & water or appropriate cleaning solutions to use on these surfaces.
- Clean your bedsheets, drapes and pillow covers as per the instructions of the manufacturer. Make use of warm water to clean these materials & dry them properly.
