Cleaning with a household cleaner that contains soap or detergent reduces the amount of bacteria on surfaces and decreases risk of infection from surfaces.
In most situations, cleaning alone removes most virus particles on surfaces. Disinfection to reduce transmission of COVID-19 at home is likely not needed unless someone in your home is sick or if someone who is positive for COVID-19 has been in your home within the last 24 hours.
These are a few basic things you can do to maintain a clean home:
— Clean the soft surfaces (carpets, rugs, and drapes) with soap and water or with cleaners made for use on these surfaces.
— Launder items (if possible) using the warmest appropriate water setting and dry items completely.
— Clean high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, tables, and light switches regularly.
— Consider putting a wipeable cover on electronics (for example, phones, tablets, touchscreens, keyboards, and remote controls) to make cleaning easier.
The CDC has a full guideline on how to clean and disinfect your home every day as well as when someone in your home has tested positive for COVID-19.
Here are the WHO’s recommendations on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in your workplace.
