Coronavirus Update- 5 Tips To Keep Your House Infection Free

As the coronavirus pandemic spreads around the world, it’s a good time to understand how cleaning can help prevent the spread of disease and what you can do to cut the risk of infection in your home.Coronavirus is mainly transmitted from person to person via tiny droplets of saliva or other bodily fluids that float in the air after a cough or sneeze.

Contaminated objects and surfaces can also be important in the transmission of disease. It’s not entirely clear what role they play in transmitting the new coronavirus, but they play an important one for related viruses such as SARS and MERS.However, it makes sense that something contaminated with the virus could pass it on, for example if a person touches it and then touches their nose, mouth or face.

So, if someone at risk of having the virus has been in your home, cleaning to reduce the amount of contamination on surfaces may help cut down your risk of further transmission of coronavirus.

* Utilize Fans

High moisture areas are often the biggest breeding grounds for germs, bacteria, and mold. Using fans in these areas can help to prevent the accumulation and spread of bacteria and mold by eliminating the excess humidity and moisture. If you already have fans in these areas, check the ventilation routinely to ensure it is working properly.

* Wash Your Bedding

Wash all of your sheets, towels, and other bedding materials regularly in hot water. Dust mites accumulate rapidly in these items, and you tend to be in contact with them frequently.

* Clean Curtains and Ceiling Fans

Although many people do not bother, it is very important to vacuum and wash your curtains and drapes and dust off your ceiling fans. Both of these areas can trap a lot of germs and dust that are not easy to see.

* Put Down the Toilet Seat

Toilets are some of the most germ-infected places in your home. Clean toilets at least once a week. Try to put down the lid of your toilet seat prior to flushing, to prevent bacteria and germ-infected water from landing on other surfaces in your bathroom, where it can survive for a couple of hours.
