Coronavirus and the worldwide pandemic have made everyday life different and sometimes more difficult. However, when you keep clean and sanitized, you can improve your chances of sustaining a healthy life. Here are some recommendations to help you clean your home against coronavirus infection.

Use Effective Cleaners

One of the most important parts of cleaning your home against coronavirus is to use the right cleaning solutions. A cleaner that only contains soap and water is only going to remove a majority of the surface contaminants. A cleaner does not effectively kill off any viruses that are on the surface. This is why you should use a disinfectant solution that has been tested for use in killing difficult-to-kill viruses and bacteria. 

Look for disinfectant products that contain hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, or quaternary ammonium, which effectively kill coronavirus. If you are not able to find disinfectants that contain these solutions, you can make your own with bleach and water. Just be sure you combine the bleach at an appropriate level within the water so it contains four teaspoons of bleach with one quart of water. You can use this solution in a spray bottle or as a solution you wipe directly onto surfaces with a cloth. The important part of the cleaning is to let the solution air dry on the surface, which allows it time to kill any remaining viruses.

Use the Right Process

When you go through and clean your home, it is common for you to use soap and water to wipe off surfaces that are dirty or dusty. However, with disinfecting, your home you need to take it a step further. Cleaning with soap and water removes dirt and a majority of any microbes present on the surfaces, which includes coronavirus, but you need to follow it up with a disinfection step. This step is essential when the coronavirus pandemic is going on around the world, and especially when someone in your household has COVID-19. 

After you have cleaned surfaces with soap and water, use an effective disinfection solution to sanitize surfaces that still may contain the virus. The virus can live on surfaces for hours or days, depending on the surface, so you need to be diligent with cleaning surfaces several times each day when they are exposed to the virus, or at least once a day otherwise.

A professional coronavirus disinfection service is a great resource to use to help keep your home clean and free of the virus, especially when you have a high amount of traffic coming through your home or you have a home business that sees some customer activity. A professional disinfection service provides you peace of mind in knowing that your common household surfaces are continually cleaned of any virus. And, when you are dealing with surfaces, such as walls, doorknobs, light switches, tables, bathroom fixtures, toilets, and keyboards, it becomes a lot of surfaces for you to keep up with.
