Basic hygiene is all that is required
to keep your house virus free. Corona virus is not air borne but coming into
contact with an infected person can affect you and your family. Make sure you
follow these simple tips to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in your houses.
What is Corona virus or COVID-19?
To date, 2418592 people have been
affected by corona virus (COVID-19) globally. While these are confirmed cases,
many are unconfirmed and fear is lurid. If you are looking to protect your
family from this disease, then here are some simple remedies that you should
follow.
COVID-19 novel ways to prevent corona virus:
Sanitise your house
Deep cleaning of your property every
week will limit the amount of germs in the entire house. This is not a costly
affair. The house is easy to disinfecting yourself. For example, lemons, baking
soda and vinegar can kill germs in the kitchen. It is also safe to use kitchen based
products for kitchen cleaning. Use the mixture to clean all counters.
Baking soda can also be sprinkled on
the upholstery. You just need to wait for at least half an hour for this. This
may be better than chemical spraying. You can use the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) method to deal with pollution and germs in
your home. Make a mixture of equal parts water and vodka with a few drops of
essential oil. It will serve as a disinfectant as well as deodorizer.
Likewise, essential oils can be used
to clean shower curtains, toilet rims, and damp locations. You can scrub these
later. Avoid keeping the areas wet, as this is a good environment for germs to
thrive. In the bedroom, make sure all linen is
thoroughly rinsed in warm water and liquid disinfectant. It is advised that you
change bed sheets regularly every week.
Kids room
Children can bring in dirt and germs.
When you can't restrict their movement and play all the time, make sure that
their room is clean at all times. If your child is using toys, make sure that
you appreciate these toys. You can check the washing instructions, to ensure
that the soft toys remain in shape even after washing them at home. Other toys
can be washed frequently.
Surface cleaning
Ensure that all surfaces - shelves,
tables, chairs, racks, switches, decorative artifacts and showpieces - are
cleaned at least once a week. If there are sick people at home, then clean up
all the places they may have touched. Corona virus is spread by contact with an
infected person and while it is not air borne, it is transmitted through body
fluids.
