The coronavirus can linger on several surfaces of an apartment. To prevent its spread, authorities advise people to clean and disinfect their homes regularly. The following guide highlights effective ways to keep your unit pristine. 

3 Ways to Kill Bacteria at Home

1. Wipe Down Heavily Used Spots

Because viruses spread through contact with bacteria on surfaces, sanitize spots people frequently touch. These include light switches, door knobs, dining room tables, and kitchen counters.

Clean with soap and water to remove dirt and grime. Afterward, disinfect with a bleached-based product to kill germs. Follow both steps if a spot is touched by visitors.

2. Disinfect Electronics

apartmentsMany students and employees have started working from home. Since people touch cellphones and laptops often, you need to keep them clean.

Take the time to wipe down your computers and phones with disinfectant to prevent the transfer of germs. Wipe the screen and keyboard, but avoid getting moisture into any charging or USB ports. 

3. Do Laundry Carefully

It’s strongly encouraged to wear gloves and masks while visiting the community laundry room. Keep them on whenever you handle clothing you wore outside because the virus may live on fabrics for a few hours. Use the warmest temperature setting and dry garments in dryers to further sanitize them with heat.

After returning to your apartment, clean and disinfect your laundry basket. Wash your hands thoroughly when you’re done.
