In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, housecleaning is more important than ever. Taking the proper steps to keep your loved ones safe is crucial, and an effective disinfectant regimen should be a priority. Here are a few tips to help you prevent the spread of illness while also taking care of yourself in the process. 

How to Safeguard Your Home Against COVID-19

1. Look at Your Cleaning Products

Certain EPA-approved products are approved to treat coronaviruses. It should state as much on the label, which means the product is safe for disinfecting. If you don’t have these products or you’re unsure, you can use bleach or alcohol (at least 70% concentration) to disinfect your home. 

2. Use Cleaning Products Correctly

Any surface you’re cleaning should be cleared of visible dirt before the disinfectant is applied—but make sure to remove the debris using a cloth instead of your hand if you’re not wearing gloves. Once cleaned, apply the disinfectant solution and let it sit on the surface for as long as the instructions recommend. Wiping the surface too soon may impact the efficacy of the product. 

3. Wear Gloves When Cleaning

Wearing gloves while cleaning reduces the risk that you’ll be infected, provided you take the proper steps. Don’t touch your face or other objects even if you’re wearing gloves, and when you’re finished, dispose of the gloves immediately. 

4. Know Where to Clean

Along with the obvious places, such as kitchen counters, bathrooms, and tables, there are many other places in the home that should be disinfected to reduce your COVID-19 risk. Light switches, doorknobs, mobile devices, TV remotes, keyboards, desks, and all other high-traffic areas should be properly sanitized.
