Best Cleaning Practices During The Pandemic
2

• Its virtually impossible to completely rid your
  home of all germs, and most of the time, it isnt
  necessary, even during a pandemic. However, it is
  necessary to try and ensure that your home is
  hygienically clean, and thankfully, its simple
  enough to achieve with the use of soap, water and
  disinfectants
• Getting your laundry clean
• In most cases, the simple act of cleaning
  something with soap or detergent and water, is
  enough to kill harmful germs, but if clothing is
  heavily soiled or may have come into contact with
  the virus, then you could consider rinsing the
  clothes before you wash them. Many washers have a
  soak option, making this easy to do.

• Use your favourite laundry detergent and the
  hottest water temperature that the clothing label
  permits, but if any of the items may have come
  into contact with the virus or a person who is
  suffering with a contagious illness, then you can
  use a disinfectant to help destroy any bacteria.
  Bleach is the most common disinfectant used
  within homes, but naturally you can only use this
  with white items. For other coloured clothing,
  add a general disinfectant to the wash cycle.
• Surfaces that are hygienically clean
• Any surface in your home that is frequently
  touched, needs to be disinfected regularly, and
  thoroughly, especially during a pandemic. Some of
  these surfaces may include doorknobs and handles,
  toilet flushers and light switches, to name but a
  few.

• You can use a store-bought disinfectant to do the
  job or make your own with diluted bleach.
• Electronic items such as phones and remote
  controls, are better wiped with a disinfecting
  cloth or with store-bought wipes that are
  especially designed to sanitize such items. You
  can also purchase plastic covers for computer
  keyboards that make cleaning them hygienically,
  much easier and takes away the risk of damaging
  it. Do this daily at least, and more frequently
  if someone in the household is sick or has
  recently been in a public place outside of the
  home.

• Banishing bacteria outside of the home
• When you go shopping, its a good idea to carry
  some disinfecting wipes with you to use on the
  handles of your shopping cart or ATM keypads
  before you touch them. Cleaning everything that
  you touch when youre out and about is hard to
  do impossible in most cases. So, instead take
  care to wash your hands at every opportunity or
  use a gel sanitizer and ensure that kids are
  informed about touching things, and when they
  should be washing their hands. Kids are versatile
  and will soon pick up new routines, so you
  probably need to worry more about yourself than
  any little ones!

  the pandemic, so try to adopt these stricter
  cleaning controls along with all other members of
