In case you and your family members spend all your time at home, daily cleaning of surfaces and items to maintain a hygienic household environment will suffice, and no disinfection is necessary.
But when other people who you may not know the status of their health come to visit, or your family members come home from places considered to have a high risk of infection, disinfecting is not only recommended but necessary.
Cleaning Vs. Disinfecting, Is there a Difference?
Disinfecting, on the other hand, means going further than just removing germs. The intention is not only to eliminate germs and other disease-causing organisms but to kill them. It is a process that should take place right after cleaning. Disinfection has become a necessity today in the fight against the spread of Covid 19. That is because the Novel Coronavirus that causes Covid 19 stays
on surfaces for hours and even days, depending on the material in question.
As a rule of thumb, disinfecting should never be done on dirty surfaces or items. Before disinfecting anything in your home, first, clean it with soap and water before embarking on a mission to kill germs.
The following precautionary measures must be applied when disinfecting since chemicals are involved in the process.
- Protecting your skin and eyes by wearing protective clothing to avoid contact with the solution
- Making sure that the room you are cleaning in is well ventilated
- Using measurements as prescribed by the manufacturer
- To dilute, only use lukewarm water unless instructed otherwise.
- Do not mix any of the products.
- Properly label solutions that are ready to use
- Keep products where children and pets will not reach them.
Always remember to check if the product has expired before using it.
How to Disinfect your household

After wiping, allow several minutes to pass before wiping off the residue using a clean damp cloth.You can boil utensils which are resistant to high heat to disinfect them. Another option is to steam them for 15 minutes after cleaning them.
Use ordinary soap and water to do your Laundry. Clothes should, however, be left out to dry completely before storing them.
Clean your Bathroom using One-Step Disinfectants, sanitize your toilet and basin daily, and rinsed with a lot of water to prevent corrosion.

A little effort and time invested in keeping your home clean and free from germs will go a long way in protecting your family from diseases such as Covid 19. Go ahead and create that bubble for your family.
