Why Its Still Important to Disinfect Your Home

• While in many countries of the world, COVID-19
  infection rates are finally falling, that doesnt
  mean that we should be complacent and start
  neglecting our home sanitizing measures.
• Check out the simple tips below to keep you, your
  family and your home safe and protected
• Sanitizing your doors
• It can be easy to forget about the doors in our
  homes, and to not appreciate quite how dirty they
  can quickly get. Its not just the door knobs and
  handles that can harbor a plethora of germs and
  grime, either, many times smaller hands that
  cant reach the handles will touch the door
  instead, leaving all manner of sticky marks and
  bacteria behind.

• Look for signs of finger and palm prints around
  your door handles and even on the frame, and
  aside from sanitizing those hotspots on a daily
  basis, wash your doors on both sides with a
  simple solution of dishwasher liquid and water,
  or spray a disinfecting solution and wipe it off.

• Keeping light switches and plug outlets clean
• Just as easy to overlook when cleaning as your
  doors, switches and outlets are almost always
  dirtier than you imagine them to be, and should
  be cleaned at least once a week. However, since
  both items are electrical, never spray a
  sanitizing solution directly onto them, always
  spray it onto a cloth or sponge first and then
  wipe them down thoroughly. You could even use
  Q-Tips dipped in disinfectant to get into smaller
  cracks and joints between switches and buttons,
  for full sanitizing of these potential bacteria
  breeding grounds.

• Sparkling floors that are germ-free, too
• For laminated or tiled flooring, it can be easier
  to clean, but because you can spot the debris and
  dirt that bit easier, you might feel inclined to
  clean them more often to keep germs and grime at
  bay. And of course, thats good the cleaner
  your floors are, the better. But when it comes to
  carpeted flooring, its equally important to
  vacuum it just as often.
• If you have pets and/or small children in your
  household, check that your floor cleaning
  solutions are safe to use first, while ensuring
  that they are still antibacterial and capable of
  sanitizing your floors as well as keeping them
  sparkling clean. Oftentimes, dishwashing soap has
  antimicrobial properties, so if in doubt, you can
  use a solution of soap and water to get your
  floors clean.

• Sanitizing all frequently handled items
• Finally, go through your entire home and think
  carefully about what items or areas are
  frequently touched, and wherever possible, apply
  a disinfectant spray and wipe them down. TV
  remotes and other handheld devices are prime
  bacteria breeding grounds, so be sure to check
  these and clean them, while going careful not to
  get liquid inside them and damage the components.
  Again, Q-Tips dipped in an antibacterial solution
  can work wonderfully well.

• Get the pros in!
• During these particularly troubling times, many
  families find it helpful to have a professional
  come in and regularly sanitize their homes, and
  that way they can rest assured that theyre
  protected at all times.
• While the situation is certainly improving across
  America, were not out of the woods yet, so dont
  neglect your cleaning and sanitizing duties!
