How Important is it to have a Clean Home?

Frequently cleaning and disinfecting your home against COVID-19 is essential for keeping yourself and your family safe and healthy. The CDC recommends cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces at least once a day.

A recent study found that the novel coronavirus can remain in the air for up to three hours and live on surfaces such as cardboard for up to 24 hours, and plastic and stainless steel for up to three days. To clean properly, you need to use one of the listed EPA disinfectants to kill the coronavirus, instead of just regular cleaning products.

A full list of approved products appears here. These include disinfecting wipes like Clorox or Lysol brands; disinfectant sprays like Purell; isopropyl alcohol; and hydrogen peroxide. The EPA recommends letting the disinfectant product sit and remain wet on surfaces for at least ten minutes.

Homemade disinfecting products will also work provided they include bleach. Please note that you need to wear gloves, open your windows, and be careful because bleach can damage or discolor sensitive surfaces.

Certain areas within your home can be hotspots for the virus. These include:

·      Kitchen knobs and drawer pulls

·      Faucets

·      Kitchen and bathroom counters

·      Toilets

·      Handles on kitchen appliances, such as on your oven

·      Remote controls and game controllers

·      Cell phones and other mobile devices

·      Computer keyboards

·      Doorknobs

·      Table surfaces

·      Staircase railings

·      Light switches

When cleaning and disinfecting wear disposable gloves and throw them away after use.
