Keep Safe From COVID-19 With Careful Home Cleaning And Disinfecting StrategiesPosted by Jessica Allison on February 20th, 2021 The fast paced life that we had become so accustomed to suddenly came to a standstill in early 2020 due to the spread of a virus. A virus that was so lethal that you could get infected even if you came in close proximity to someone who had already been infected. All of us were asked to stay indoors and take proper precautions. One of the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is proper self hygiene. We were asked to frequently wash our hands and use alcohol based sanitizers. But along with hand hygiene, keeping the surfaces in your house clean and disinfected with the help of professional home disinfection products is also necessary. Here are a few things you can do to keep yourself and your family safe from COVID-19.
· Clean and disinfect hard surfaces
Frequently touched surfaces like tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, sinks, sports equipment, and toys need to be routinely cleaned and disinfected. To begin with, clean the surfaces with soap and water, and then use a household disinfectant to kill the germs on the surface. Hiring a professional home sanitizing company occasionally is also recommended.
· Soft surfaces need cleaning too
There is no concrete evidence if the virus can live on your clothes and bedsheets for a long period of time. Nonetheless, it is also wise to take these precautions. Launder your bedsheets, pillow covers, clothes, and toys regularly. Preferably use warm to hot water for the process. There are products available in the market that can be used to disinfect and sanitize clothes. This measure becomes even more necessary if there is a sick person in your house.
· Hand hygiene while handling food
As much as proper home sanitization in Dubai is important, taking basic precautions like washing your hands thoroughly before handling the food will go way when it comes to self-protection.
Your family’s health should be your primary concern. If implementing these tips in your daily routine will keep your loved ones safe, then so be it.
