Our world has come to a stop because of the coronavirus. Because there is still no cure for the virus, medical experts and health organizations have shared some valuable tips to prevent the spread of coronavirus and stay safe at home.

You must know that while shopping for essential items is important, the products you bring home might have COVID-19 germs on its packaging. Or, the person who went out to buy the groceries may bring the virus home, regardless of whether they’re infected or not. For these reasons, you should regularly clean and disinfect your home to protect you and your family from the deadly pandemic.

Areas to Focus on While Cleaning

Protecting you and your family doesn’t mean you clean every inch and corner of your home every day. You won’t be able to hold on for long with that approach. Considering that this pandemic seems to have no plans of leaving any time soon, it makes sense to focus on certain surfaces that are touched often and can thus form breeding grounds for the virus. This should make the cleaning process more efficient and less stressful and time-consuming.

High-touch surfaces may include mobile phones, dining table, kitchen tops, bathroom surfaces, remotes for TVs and other appliances, keyboards, etc. Frequently touched items include hand creams bottles, body wash bottles, and shampoo bottles, and even hand sanitizers, cleaners, and disinfectants. The simplest way to clean them is to wash them with warm water and soap.

Whenever you bring something home, remove and dispose of as much packaging as you can from the products before they’re touched by others or come into contact with surfaces in your home.

What Cleaning Products to Use?

When it comes to choosing the cleaning products, you probably expect a long list of cleaning solutions and may have complicated things for yourself. However, according to medical experts, it’s pretty simple. All you need is a diluted bleach solution or just soap and water. Don’t spend time looking for the most expensive or reliable bleach in the store; the cheapest one should be 100% effective.

Bleach proves extremely valuable for hard surfaces like worktops, floors, light switches, etc. Try to clean and disinfect the movable or portable surfaces in a well-ventilated area and make sure you’re using gloves while cleaning.

If you can’t get bleach, soap and water can be safely used for cleaning purposes. If applied regularly, they are sufficient to destroy the virus. Soap and water are more suitable for cleaning utensils and plates, other items that come into contact with food, as well as children’s toys.

Following the above-mentioned steps can greatly protect you and your family as well as others from the novel coronavirus.
