When a cold or the flu strikes a member of your family, a little extra cleaning can go a long way to stop the spread of infection. Maid Brigade is here to share seasonal deep cleaning tips on killing cold and flu viruses around your home. The maids at the green home cleaning company in Honolulu, HI, will make your apartment or house sparkle from floor to ceiling.

Here are three seasonal deep cleaning tips to prevent illness:

• Disinfect Surfaces: Kitchen tables, countertops, desks, and nightstands are magnets for viruses. Most homeowners don’t wipe these frequently touched surfaces often enough. Use a disinfectant spray or a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide with a clean towel to disinfect all the surfaces around your home.
• Clean Doorknobs: Your doorknobs are one of the most likely culprits in spreading sickness throughout your family. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, doorknobs contaminated by the flu virus can infect people for up to 24 hours. Clean every doorknob in your home daily when someone’s sick.
• Launder Frequently: Another common place where the flu virus can live is on your dirty laundry. Wash your towels, sheets, blankets, and clothes in bleach detergent with hot water to kill the germs. This will help reduce the likelihood that other members of your family will catch a cold.

Maid Brigade will provide a seasonal deep cleaning of your home to stop the spread of sickness. To learn more about residential cleaning services in Honolulu, call (808) 524-7788, visit them online, or like them on Facebook.
