Residential Hygiene 101: 5 Tips to Combat COVID-19



 
While we almost thought we had flattened the curve there for a while, the COVID-19 pandemic has returned with a menacing vengeance across many U.S. states, including Arizona, Florida, and California. 

As people continue to remain indoors and practice social distancing, the importance of following residential hygiene practices has become imperative. 

We’ve rounded up five tips to help you prioritize the safety and health of your family.

1. Clean and Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

Cleaning high-touch surfaces simply isn’t enough; you have to ensure complete disinfection to eliminate chances of contracting or spreading the virus. 

We suggest identifying high-touch surfaces and making a list, so you don’t miss anything. Ideally, you should focus on door handles, switches, electronic devices, tables, remotes, dining chairs, and faucets. 

Use an EPA-approved disinfectant (disinfecting wipes, sprays, or isopropyl alcohol) to eliminate all traces of the virus and ensure optimal residential safety.  

2. Open and Dispose of All Packages/Foreign Items Outdoors


If you’re expecting packages, take special care to open and dispose of them outside your home. Bringing them inside your space increases the risk of spreading the virus. 

Instead, wear disposable gloves and unbox each package outside. Once you’re done, clean and disinfect the constituents to eliminate any traces of the virus.

3. Don’t Take Any Risks by Having Guests Over

While the threat of COVID-19 reduced a few weeks ago, things aren’t back to normal—even in states that have cited a drop in cases. 

We strongly suggest avoiding having guests over. As the pandemic continues to fluctuate, it’ll take several months before visiting your friends and family becomes safe again. 

For now, steer clear of any visits to avoid infecting your home.

4. Open Your Steel Windows and Doors

 

Opening windows and doors is a great way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

We suggest ensuring sufficient ventilation and keeping the A/C off, if possible.

Opting for Dutch doors is a great way to allow fresh air into your home without entirely opening your door and compromising security.

5. Don’t Lose Sight of Personal Hygiene


 
While ensuring optimal residential hygiene is important, taking personal measures is non-negotiable. Wear a face mask when going outside and maintain a distance of six feet from others. 

In addition, look out for symptoms and get tested immediately if there is any cause for concern. 

We strongly recommend using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer on a frequent basis and washing your hands using an antibacterial soap or liquid hand wash.
