Clean House Tips: How to Properly Disinfect Your Home

Disinfect your home with these Clean House Tips.

While we are all spending most of our time at home right now avoiding the germ-filled outside world, it’s about time to properly disinfect your home. Here are some clean house tips:

 

Disinfect phone & computer

Use disinfectant wipes and do not spray anything directly onto your devices. Do this at least once a day. Here are some options for disinfectant wipes.

 

Disinfect EVERYTHING

– doorknobs
– light switches
– remotes
– handles in the kitchen, dining area (especially the drawer for – utensils)
– bathroom sink
– flusher and toilet bowl
– desk
– dining table
– kitchen countertops
– EVERYTHING

Here are some options for disinfectant sprays.

 

No outside shoes in the house

If you really care about keeping your home clean, don’t bring in outside dirt and germs – and those are all over your shoes. Instead, wear house slippers, house socks, or socks at home.

 

Take off outside clothes

Just like your shoes, your outside clothes have outside germs. Who knows what germs you collected on your clothes from wherever you sat down. Or if someone’s cough or sneeze particles floated to your shirt. Take off your outside clothes once you get home and wear house clothes. It’s way more comfortable that way, too.

 

Shower before hopping on your bed

Much like your outside clothes, your body, skin, and hair collected germs from your day outside. While many beauty tips highly recommend not to shower and wash your hair every day, to really stay clean at home it is really best to shower and wash off all those germs every day, and preferably right when you get home or at least before going to bed.

 

Wipe all outside purchases

Purchases from stores and even online shopping have been held by people, and who knows what they have touched! Wipe these purchases with a disinfectant wipe or disinfectant spray/paper towel. This includes groceries, toiletries, everything.

 

Clean and disinfect your house at least once a week

But really, every day is ideal. Once your home is clean, it is easier to maintain it each day or at the end of every night.

 

Have your outside staff shower before starting the day

If you have a staff helping you at home, have them shower before starting their day; and they should wear clean clothes/uniforms in your house and not their outside clothes.
