How to Properly Clean After a Household Illness

One of your main responsibilities is to stop the illness from spreading to other family members if someone in your home has the flu, a cold, or any other contagious ailment. One of the first lines of defense, in addition to often washing your hands, is adequate cleaning because viruses may dwell on surfaces. 1 Here's how to thoroughly clean different household spaces to eliminate germs.
Kitchens
A sick individual shouldn't be in charge of cooking for others in order to stop the spread of germs. In particular, when it comes to contagious diseases like the norovirus, rigorous hand washing may not be sufficient to keep others safe. The best course of action is to keep the sick individual away from the kitchen totally because there are so many commonplace products and surfaces in a kitchen that germs can spread to.
All utensils and plates that the sick individual used should be washed in a dishwasher on high heat or, if you're hand cleaning items, should be dipped in a disinfectant solution. As a DIY remedy, mix 1/2 cup of chlorine bleach with 1 gallon of water. Clean hard surfaces, such as those on tables, chair backs, refrigerator knobs, and drawers, on a regular basis.
Living Spaces
It might be challenging to limit a sick person to their bedroom, especially a young child. Cover the furniture with washable sheets or blankets to avoid contaminating the upholstery in communal living areas. Regularly wash and replace them. Additionally, get rid of decorative pillows that are difficult to clean or cover them with pillowcases that can be cleaned.
Hard surfaces including phones, computers, remote controls, light switches, and doorknobs should be cleaned frequently. A disinfectant needs to be applied to any toys that were used to amuse the ill person. Don't forget to clean any coffee or side tables the sick individual may have touched as well.
