This period favors viruses and germs that enter the home only to make the situation worse.
So, it is important to rid our home of as many germs as we can! Because as important as washing our hands to get rid of germs is, it is equally important that all surfaces in the home are equally clean.
Start disinfecting:
The good old soap and water is ideal to get the dirt off surfaces but this does not mean that viruses do not survive. Try disinfectants that promise to neutralize up to 99% of viruses and bacteria.
Pay attention to the points that gather the most germs:
Germs prefer points and objects that are touched frequently. Remote controls, phones, doorknobs, switches, towels and faucets become a source of germs and need to be cleaned and disinfected
daily. On sensitive surfaces, such as remote controls, use disinfectant wipes while immediately wiping up stains from carpets and surfaces to prevent bacteria from growing.
Get rid of bacteria in the bedroom
We spend at least 6 to 8 hours every night in bed. House dust mites are the number one allergen indoors. Sheets, mattress, pillows, pillowcases, mattress, blankets, duvet cover and pillowcase! These are just some of the items that need to be cleaned regularly, as mites and bacteria crowd these surfaces.
Make sure to wash all covers at high temperatures and iron them while items like the mattress or pillows that cannot be washed, it is worth applying a spray [that kills mites.
Beware of garbage:
Make sure to empty the garbage cans and waste bins in the house often while throwing away the used paper towels that are a breeding ground for bacteria. At the same time, do not forget simple hygiene rules at home such as taking off our shoes before entering the house or changing the towel for the face or hands often or even washing our hands frequently and using antiseptic solution or antibacterial soap often enough.
What should we pay attention to in the bathroom?
You may think of the sink but the washing machine is one of the dirtiest items in the house due to the humidity in which it finds a conducive ground for microorganisms to grow, which are transferred from wash to wash. Do washing with vinegar and clean with a dry cloth the rubber of the washing machine where mold gathers.
As for the toilet seat, it is good to keep it closed so as not to spread germs through the air to all kinds of objects, especially toothbrushes.
Where most germs gather:
• Kitchen sponge
• Unwashed clothes
• Remote controls
• Doorknobs
• Playground
• Elevator buttons (ATM)
Finally, the most important tip you should keep is to ventilate the house often, even room by room, especially during these months when viruses are rampant. Frequent air exchange in the room will save you from colds or the common flu.
