How To Fight the Flu & Viruses. Winnetka Home Cleaning

Winnetka home cleaning experts

The flu season shouldn't be taken lightheartedly as you can never tell what germs are still circulating.

In the fall, we think about all the pathogens we encounter daily. However, I've become more conscious of the hazards that lurk in even the smallest of spaces in recent years.

Symptoms of the virus include muscle aches, fever, chills, and exhaustion. Keep the flu away from your home. Maintain a clean house with Dial A Maid USA, and you'll be far less likely to catch the flu this fall and winter.

 

Before and After the Flu: How to Disinfect Your Home

You don't have to be concerned because Dial A Maid USA is experienced in dealing with germs. However, there are a few basic things you can do to prevent the flu virus from entering your home when cleaning.

Hands should be washed often with warm, soapy water.

This may seem self-evident, but even healthy people need to be reminded. Don't rush through your handwashing process, and stick to the handwashing guidelines. You can quickly clean up the mess using antibacterial hand sanitizer. Before touching your mouth or nose, make sure you wash your hands.

 

Clean High-Traffic Areas With Professional Housekeepers

Consider all of the potential gathering spots in your home. Then, finally, consider what you do in each of those categories and what you touch. Next, hire Dial A Maid USA cleaning crews to pay close attention to potential germ breeding spots. There may even be areas you haven't considered.

Cabinet handles, doorknobs, and light switches may quickly become breeding grounds for deadly pathogens. As a result, disinfect all of those small items at least once a week.

A family computer, console, or phone can all be put to extensive use. So start with the most commonly utilized items. Then clean these items with a moist towel and soapy water.

To clean your hands and body, you can use sanitizing wipes or a disinfectant spray. Whatever you use, clean every portion of the surface, such as between buttons and behind switches.

 

Bedding should be washed in hot soapy water.

If color-safe bleach is available and safe for the fabric, use it. You can still clean your clothes if you don't use bleach. You should not share your sleeping towels or blankets with anyone else, especially if someone in the house has been sick.

When sick people sleep on clean bedding, they feel better, but they also help prevent the virus from spreading. It may need a few more loads of laundry, but it is well worth the effort.

 

Vacuum or use a professional home cleaner with HEPA filters.

Some vacuums include full bags, which you can replace when they're empty. Some folks have receptacles to empty after each usage and start afresh. Examine the hoses and filters.

Make sure there are no clogs. Even with your vacuum cleaner, you pick up germs and other unwanted items when cleaning. So, to avoid spreading germs throughout your home, call Dial A Maid USA, who empties vacuums regularly.

 

Concentrate on Bathroom and Kitchen Cleaning

The kitchen and bathroom are the most used and sometimes dirtiest rooms in your house.

Dial A Maid USA cleans the faucet handles and toilet handles in the bathroom and kitchen using disinfecting cleaning chemicals like bleach and water every day during flu season.
