The flu season isn’t something to take lightly. The time of year when we are reminded of all the germs we encounter daily. We have all grown more conscious of the dangers that could exist on even the most minor surfaces during the past couple of years.
And we need to be more careful when the flu is around. If you’ve ever had the flu, you know how miserable it can be. So, keep the flu from taking over your house. Start preventing the flu by regularly cleaning and disinfecting your home in Evanston Dial A Maid USA year-round services, not just during flu season.
How To Disinfect Your Home Before & After the Flu
Don’t worry, Dial A Maid USA has experience with germs. Here are some quick cleaning hacks you may implement to prevent the flu virus from entering your house.
Wash Hands With Warm, Soapy Water.
Although it can seem obvious, even the healthiest individuals need a reminder. Follow standard handwashing procedures and don’t speed through your routine.
Use antibacterial hand sanitizer for rapid cleanup. Avoid touching your mouth or nose unless you’ve washed your hands first.
Clean High Contact Areas Frequently In Your Home.
Consider all the communal areas in your house where guests might congregate. Then, consider everything you affect in each of those fields. Finally, be sure to pay attention to potential gathering areas for guests. You might even find some locations that you hadn’t considered.
It’s simple for dangerous viruses to grow on objects like light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles. So, all those minor items need to be frequently cleaned and sanitized.
Then commonly use objects in space, such as a family computer, the remote control that we all fight over, gaming consoles, or even cell phones that can spread diseases from one location to another.
Use a slightly wet cloth and soapy water to wash these things. You can also use disinfecting spray or sanitizing wipes. Whatever you use, clean the surface, including everywhere there are buttons or switches, etc.
Use Hot Water to Wash Towels and Beddings.
If color-safe bleach is allowed for the fabric, use it as needed. You can sanitize your laundry without using bleach. For example, avoid lending out your towels or blankets if someone else in the house has recently fallen ill.
Keeping these things clean will make your sick family member feel better on clean sheets and help stop the virus from spreading. But unfortunately, it might require a few additional loads of laundry.
Clean Out Your Vacuum At Least Once A Month.
When the bags are full, you can change them to some vacuums. Also, some people have containers you can empty each time you use them.
Pay close attention to the hoses and filters to ensure nothing is clogged. Even with your vacuum cleaner, you might still pick up pollutants and pathogens while cleaning. Vacuum cleaners routinely emptied are less likely to disperse those toxins around your house.
Evanston home cleaning uses HEPA-filtered machines to trap germs, bacteria, and allergens.
