5 Essential Tips for Regularly Disinfecting Your Home

Maintaining a clean and germ-free home is crucial for the health and well-being of your family. Regularly disinfecting your living space can help eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause illnesses. In this blog post, we will share five essential tips to help you effectively disinfect your home between visits from our staff!

1. Develop a Cleaning Routine
It’s easy to set up a routine if you’re getting regular weekly or fortnightly visits from us! We can come at a weekday and time to suit you, providing a full home deep clean. Getting into a schedule can help you know when a quick refresh could be needed.

2. Focus on High-Touch Surfaces
Certain surfaces in your home are more prone to collecting germs and bacteria due to frequent contact. Pay extra attention to high-touch areas such as doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, faucet handles, and countertops. Wipe these surfaces down regularly with a disinfectant solution to minimise the risk of contamination. We definitely cover these types of spaces during our visits, however a touch-up between can always help!

3. Choose the Right Disinfectants
Not all cleaning products are created equal when it comes to disinfection. Look for disinfectants that are proven to be effective against a wide range of pathogens. Be conscious of what you’d like to ensure is removed, and if that is noted on the products packaging. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage and contact time.

4. Don't Forget About Soft Surfaces
While hard surfaces are easier to clean and disinfect, it's important not to overlook soft surfaces such as upholstery, curtains, and rugs. These areas can also harbor bacteria and viruses. Regularly vacuuming and washing these items, following the manufacturer's instructions, can help eliminate potential contaminants.

5. Practice Proper Hand Hygiene
In addition to disinfecting your home, practicing proper hand hygiene is vital to prevent the spread of germs. Encourage your family members to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds regularly. Place hand sanitisers in convenient locations throughout your home, especially near entryways, to promote good hand hygiene.

Regularly disinfecting your home is essential for maintaining a healthy living environment and preventing the spread of illnesses. Our cleaners go out of their way to ensure a cleaned and fresh home at the end of each visit. With your conscious effort, you can extend the length of the clean and time it stays disinfected!
