It is important to disinfect your home regularly to eliminate germs and viruses, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some effective techniques for disinfecting your home:
-
Use alcohol-based sanitizers greater than 70% to clean hard surfaces, such as counters, doorknobs, and elevator buttons. Be sure to follow product label instructions for effective cleaning.
-
Use disinfectant wipes to clean surfaces that cannot get wet, such as remote controls and keyboards.
-
Regularly clean common surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches and faucets, with soap and water.
-
Use a steam cleaner to disinfect carpets, rugs and upholstery. Steam eliminates germs and viruses by killing them at high temperatures.
-
Regularly clean clothes, sheets and towels at high temperatures to eliminate germs and viruses.
-
Make sure that the rooms in your home have good ventilation to renew the air and reduce the concentration of germs and viruses.
By following these sanitizing steps, you can help protect your family from germs and viruses, including COVID-19. It is important to remember that these measures are complementary to barrier gestures, such as wearing a mask and frequent hand washing.
