Disinfect!

There are many harmful organisms surrounding us. Normal people are not affected, however those with compromised immune systems are at risk. Here a few tips on where to clean, how to clean, and what to avoid if you have an immunosuppressive illness.

Moisture is a breeding ground for germs and mold, so don’t leave anything wet. Dry off sinks, bathtubs, bath toys, counter tops, and any other wet surfaces immediately after using them.Wash towels on a regular basis. Once or twice a month run your dishwasher and washing machine with a vinegar treatment.

Sweep, dust and vacuum often enough to prevent dust from collecting on surfaces.Clean ceiling fans and air vents in your dusting routine because these areas collect dust quickly and are too often overlooked. Vacuum on a daily basis to avoid dust build up in the carpet.

Bathrooms need to be cleaned EVERY single day. Disinfect everything in the bathroom, from the door handle to the sink handles, and everything in between. Flush with the lid DOWN to avoid the back splash of toilet remnants. Make sure every person that comes through there washes their hands thoroughly.
