- Don’t just clean, disinfect as well
The CDC (Centre for Disease Control) has suggested to not only clean but disinfect the hard surfaces.
For this, start with normal cleaning like dusting and sweeping.
W.H.O. (World Health Organisation) has stated that coronavirus may remain on hard surfaces for hours and can be killed only by disinfectants. So wear gloves & mask before even starting to clean an area and use a disinfectant to kill the germs and viruses.
You can use normal household disinfectant as there’s no specified product or component type is suggested by the professionals of W.H.O.
Put the disinfectant on the floor and clean it or simply add some in the clear water and mop it all over the hard surfaces including the floor. However, hiring tile and grout cleaning services in Melbourne for complete floor cleaning and disinfecting is a no brainer.
- Clean the Highly Touched Area
Think about the areas that are highly touched or visited. It will probably be the kitchen, toilet, remote, light switches, coffee table, sinks, doorknob, and benches. Disinfect such items every day and if possible twice a day. You have to pay attention to every item, fixtures, furniture, or even the food items for cleanliness.
- Personal Hygiene
One of the biggest weapons for fighting coronavirus is personal hygiene. Clean your hands after touching anything, especially when you are in a supermarket or any public area. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap. If it’s not possible to wash the hands at the moment, don’t touch any of your face parts such as nose, eyes, ear, or mouth.
Doctors suggest washing hands with an alcohol-based solution such as alcohol rub or hand sanitiser. Alcohol can kill the virus and other bacteria.
If you have recently stepped inside your home, first wash your hands for 20 seconds and go straight to your bathroom for a bath. Don’t leave your clothes in the closet. Wash them by adding a drop of fabric disinfectant.
- Clean your Phone, Too
Nowadays, the phone is an essential part of everyone’s life. We carry it everywhere. This makes the phone a breeding ground for many bacteria, germs, and even the coronavirus. No matter how well you are implementing the above two steps, if you are using a phone without washing your hands, you are allowing the virus to enter inside your body.
Don’t take out your phone when you are outside. If it’s urgent, seek for a place to wash your hands and bring a small sanitiser everywhere you go.
After coming back home, clean it with rubbing alcohol carefully.
- Don’t forget your car
Of course, your car is the part of your daily activity and is most prone to get the virus to stick to its surface. Wash your car before and after going somewhere. Clean handles, dashboard, seats, console, steering wheels, and many other parts that you touch with a disinfectant.
