In this blog post, we will discuss 5 tips for disinfecting your living areas while working from home. Stay safe and healthy!
Make Cleaning and Tidying up a Daily Habit
Make sure to wash your hands or take a shower after heading out. This will help remove any dirt or germs that you may have picked up during the day. Change into fresh clothes if necessary. This will help to keep your living space clean and free of germs. Personal hygiene is important. Be sure to practice good personal hygiene habits such as washing your hands regularly and avoiding touching your face.
Clean and disinfect surfaces in your living area that you use frequently. This includes countertops, door handles, light switches, etc. Keep your living space tidy. A clean and organized living space will help to reduce the spread of germs and keep you healthy.
By following these tips, you can help to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful germs and keep your living space clean and disinfected. Stay safe and healthy!
Sanitize your Gadgets with the Right Disinfectant
Sanitize your Gadgets with the Right Disinfectant: We’re all guilty of using our phones or laptops while we’re in the bathroom. But did you know that your gadgets can harbor a lot of germs? Be sure to sanitize them regularly with the right disinfectant. Alcohol-based solutions are great for killing bacteria, so look for a product that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your phone, such as window cleaners, kitchen cleaners, makeup removers, dish soaps, hand soaps, or vinegars. These disinfectants may harm your phone by removing the water- and oil-resistant coating.
Show some Love to the Neglected Areas of your Home
Show Some Love to the Neglected Areas of your Home: Just because you’re not using a certain area of your home doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be clean. Dust and vacuum regularly, even in areas that don’t seem to get dirty.
Keep Your Cleaning Supplies Close By: It’s easier to clean up spills and messes when you have your cleaning supplies close by. Keep a stash of wipes, gloves, and garbage bags in an easily accessible place.
Create a Schedule: To avoid letting things get too out of hand, create a cleaning schedule and stick to it. Add in some extra time for deep cleaning once a week.
Be Proactive: Clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get rid of the stain or odor. Don’t Forget Your Trash Can: Empty your trash can regularly
Give Attention to your Pillows and Mattresses
One of the most important things you can do to protect yourself is to pay attention to your pillows and mattresses. These are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning, but they can be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Be sure to clean your pillows and mattresses on a regular basis, using hot water and soap. You can also use a disinfectant spray to kill any germs that might be lurking.
When it comes to cleaning your mattress, we recommend sifting baking soda over it and letting it sit for 24 hours. The next day, vacuum everything up and the mattress should be as good as new.
Another tip is to keep your work area clean and clutter-free. A cluttered desk or workspace can make it difficult to focus, and it can also attract dust and dirt. Make it a habit to tidy up your work area at the end of each day, and you’ll be less likely to track germs into your living area.
Do Not Neglect the Pre-Clean and Post-Clean
Do Not Neglect the Pre-Clean and Post-Clean: No matter how clean you keep your house normally, it’s important to do a deep clean before you start working from home. This will help to remove any lingering germs or bacteria that could potentially make you sick. Once you’ve finished working for the day, it’s equally important to do a post-clean. This will help to get rid of any germs or bacteria that you may have brought home with you.
Wash Your Hands Frequently: One of the most important things you can do to prevent the spread of illness is to wash your hands regularly. Be sure to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. If you don’t have access to soap and water, hand sanitizer is the next best thing.
