Cleaning Your Home During Covid or Pandemic: 5 Essential Steps
1. Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces While Cleaning Your Home During Covid
High-touch areas like doorknobs, light switches, handles, remotes, and countertops must be disinfected daily. Use NEA-approved disinfectants or a bleach solution. Regular disinfection greatly reduces virus transmission risks.
2. Use Effective Disinfectants for Pandemic-Grade Cleaning
Not all cleaning products work against viruses. Use products listed on the NEA’s approved disinfectant list. Remember, cleaning removes dirt — disinfecting kills pathogens.
3. Safe Laundry Practices During a Pandemic
Wash clothes, bedsheets, and towels in hot water. Avoid shaking laundry to prevent airborne spread. If handling items from a sick household member, use gloves and wash hands thoroughly afterward.
4. Improve Ventilation When Cleaning Your Home
Open windows or doors to circulate air while cleaning. This helps reduce airborne contaminants, especially when using strong disinfectants. Good ventilation is essential during a pandemic.
5. Maintain Personal Hygiene After Cleaning Your Home
A clean home alone isn’t enough. Wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning, before meals, and after using the toilet. Encourage family members to maintain hygiene, especially during the Covid pandemic.
