Keep COVID-19 away: Deep cleaning benefits.
According to CDC’s “Guidance for cleaning and disinfecting” reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by cleaning and disinfection is an important part of reopening public spaces that will require careful planning. Every American has been called upon to slow the spread of the virus through social distancing and prevention hygiene, such as frequently washing your hands and wearing face coverings.
Coronavirus is a reality, but we have some recommendations to keep it out of our homes as far as possible.
How to clean and disinfect.
Wear disposable gloves to clean and disinfect.
Clean surfaces using soap and water, then use disinfectant.
Cleaning with soap and water reduces number of germs, dirt and impurities on the surface. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces.
Practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces.
More frequent cleaning and disinfection may be required based on level of use.
Surfaces and objects in public places, such as shopping carts and point of sale keypads should be cleaned and disinfected before each use.
High touch surfaces include:
Tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, sinks, etc.
The virus that causes COVID-19 can be killed if you use the right products, and by maintaining a regular deep cleaning habits right on schedule, you’re ensuring you and your family are not unnecessarily exposed to this and to an extensive list of other diseases.
