If one of your family members has a contagious disease, you must prevent the transmission and spread of the disease to other people in the house after he recovers. Aside from frequent hand washing, cleaning the house is the first line of defense against illness, as the virus can survive on hard surfaces for weeks. In the following, you will get acquainted with several different areas of the house and of course the car that need more attention, and you will also learn what is the right way to clean the house after an illness in order to eliminate germs and bacteria.
Items needed to clean the house after illness
It is not enough to use clean water and mild detergent to eliminate viruses, bacteria and germs. You should also use disinfectants. Be careful about these ingredients that you must read the instructions of each product completely before using them in order to get the best results. Quick and superficial cleaning is not enough.
Home Care, Life Care and Bano brands can help you in this way with a variety of disinfectants and bleaches.
If you don’t have a versatile disinfectant product at home, you can prepare it using chlorine bleach. For this purpose it is enough:
Add two tablespoons of 5.25 to 6 percent chlorine bleach to 4 cups of water (read the bleach label carefully to make sure it’s strong enough to disinfect surfaces). It is better to prepare this product fresh every day. Because if chlorine bleach is exposed to air for a long time, it may lose its cleaning properties.
How to use disinfectant at home?
If you are using commercial products, follow the instructions on the label. But in the case of household cleaning solutions, you need to dip a clean white cloth or a kitchen towel into the prepared bleaching solution and use it to wipe the surfaces that need to be cleaned. Wait for at least three minutes and then clean the surface again with clean water. You can also pour the bleach solution into a spray bottle.
After use, throw away the kitchen towel and wash the cotton cloth to be used again. It is recommended not to use scotch to clean the house after illness. Because bacteria may hide in its pores and remain there.
In the case of devices such as remote control and computer and laptop keyboards, an ear cleaner impregnated with disinfectants is suitable because it can access the narrow and small parts of these devices.
Warning! Never mix disinfectant cleaners with other cleaning products such as ammonia, as the resulting toxic gases can cause injury or death.
