Regular cleaning and disinfection are necessary to get rid of dangerous viruses and bacteria that may be loitering in different corners, so make sure to sanitize your entire home thoroughly. Your living space will feel comfortable and safe after you disinfect every room, including the bathroom.
Bathroom does require special care, as it is one of the germiest parts of any house, hand in hand with the kitchen. Kitchen sinks tend to have the worst reputation, as bits and pieces of leftover food can attract unwanted guests, if not disposed of properly.
If you’re overwhelmed with work and household chores, and dream of taking a break, remember that you can always hire amazing experts in house cleaning in Kansas City to help you with all things cleaning.
How do you properly disinfect your kitchen?
We talked about the difference between cleaning and disinfection and why it’s so important. Here’s a quick recap: cleaning physically removes dirt and grime, while disinfection kills viruses and bacteria on the surface. That’s why you should always clean first, and disinfect after, regardless of which room you’re cleaning.
There’s a couple of tips we’d suggest you pay attention to when cleaning the kitchen, if you want to prevent different types of germs from flourishing and causing harm:
1. Clean your kitchen sink and dirty dishes daily
Wiping spills as soon as they occur and washing dirty dishes without delay are essential to keeping a clean home. If you do that, you’ll save your sink from collecting unwanted, nasty microbes that could potentially cause health issues for you or one of your family members.
Don’t forget to give your kitchen sink a thorough scrub once you’re done with the dishes, to get rid of any food residue.
2. Choose the right disinfectant
Even with coronavirus still very much on the loose, there’s no need to worry if you disinfect your kitchen counters, tables, shelves, light switches and other commonly touched house areas regularly.
If unsure which disinfectant would work best on a particular surface, you can check out the list compiled by EPA on their website.
3. Choose the right cleaning tools
First and foremost, make sure to wear gloves, especially when working with strong chemicals. Not only do gloves protect your hands from aforementioned harsh chemicals, but it’s less likely you’ll accidentally transfer bacteria between surfaces on your gloves as opposed to on your fingertips.
Clean your kitchen countertops using microfiber cloth. Its exquisite ability to grab dirt and remove tiny microbes easily, without damaging the surface, beats paper towels every time. Microfiber is great for removing dust and cleaning floors too. You can use it in combination with an all-purpose cleaner to get rid of most contaminants.
How do you properly disinfect your living room?
Living rooms usually get a lot of traffic, which is why a meticulous cleaning approach is a must. Besides taking care of hard surfaces like coffee tables, TV and other electronic devices, and the high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs and light switches, you should remember to disinfect soft surfaces such as cushions and upholstery too.
