With Covid-19 still prevalent in the air, it is important that you are doing everything in your power to keep yourself and your home clean. Every room in your house should be cleaned and disinfected at least once every week or two to prevent germs and to keep your surfaces clean. From your toothbrush to your HVAC Filter, every aspect of your house contributes to the overall cleanliness of your home. If you want yourself and your family to live germ free this season, follow these simple cleaning tips to keep your home spotless!
Sanitize!
With the school season starting, new incoming germs and bacteria will be entering your home with your children. So, it is crucial to keep your hands and surfaces disinfected. Use hand sanitizer frequently and wipe down doorknobs and handles regularly to keep the germs at bay. Although hand sanitizer is not as effective as washing your hands, it still does its job and kills the bacteria on the surface.
Wash!
Keeping your bedroom linens clean is a cleaning task that should be done once a week. Bacteria, dander, dead skin, hair, and dust all collect in our bedsheets and need to be washed frequently. We spend at least one-third of our lives in our bedrooms so make sure it is clean and germ free!
Replace!
Replacing your HVAC filters regularly is crucial in keeping the air you breathe clean. Every few months, chance your HVAC Filter so it can properly do its job. Dust, dander, allergens, and hair can build up in your system, causing it to not run properly. Not only does regularly replacing your filter clean the air you breathe, but it also keeps your electric bill low!
Deep Clean!
Take a look around your home and find the areas and surfaces you use the most, these are the areas that need to be targeted while cleaning. For example, in your kitchen, you should replace your sponge every so often to prevent germs from building up. In your bathroom, make sure your hand towel is being cleaned at least once a week to prevent recycling germs.
Dust!
Dust is a common cause of stuffy noses around the house. Wipe down all high ledges, surfaces, and fans to get rid of all the lingering dust in the air. By using some scented dusting spray, you won’t leave anything behind but a fresh lemon scent!
Open the Windows!
Humidity in your home can easily lead to sickness and the build-up of bacteria. You can quickly dry up your home and all the humidity sitting inside by opening windows on dry days. There is nothing better than the smell of fresh air!
Laundry!
Dirty clothes hold a lot of bacteria and germs from the day, so make sure your laundry is being done frequently to prevent the build-up of bacteria in your bedroom. Regularly wash your linens, towels, and clothes to keep your fabrics germ free.
Hopefully, with these tips, you will have no problem keeping yourself and your home clean. Living germ free doesn’t have to be hard if gone about the correct way! By simply cleaning surfaces once a week and making sure to wash your hands, you will be living a germ free life in no time!
