FLU SEASON IS AMONGST US 🥵
Here are some tips to tie you over and keep as safe as can be ❤️
High-Touch Surface Disinfection
* Doorknobs and Handles: Wipe down entry doors, cupboard pulls, and refrigerator handles daily using a multipurpose disinfectant or bleach solution.
* Electronics and Remotes: Regularly sanitize shared devices like TV remotes, phones, tablets, keyboards, and game controllers.
* Light Switches and Railings: Disinfect stair rails and wall light switches frequently, especially if someone in the home is feeling unwell.
* Kitchen and Bathroom Fixtures: Clean faucet handles, sink counters, and toilet flush levers with hot soapy water followed by a surface disinfectant.
Safe Cleaning Practices
* Clean Before Disinfecting: Always wash surfaces with soap and water first to remove dirt and impurities before applying a disinfectant.
* Follow Contact Times: Let your disinfectant spray or wipe sit wet on the surface for the product's recommended wait time (usually 30 seconds to several minutes) before wiping it away.
* Avoid Dry Dusting: Use a wet mop or damp microfiber cloth instead of dry sweeping or dusting, which can kick virus particles back into the air.
* Use Personal Protection: Wear disposable gloves and a face mask while cleaning up after someone who is sick to avoid inhaling fumes or stirring up respiratory droplets.
* Ventilate the Space: Open windows or run an air purifier to improve indoor air circulation and reduce airborne contaminants.
Personal Hygiene and Laundry
* Handwashing: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds to physically break down the outer layer of the flu virus.
* Separate Linens: Wash bed sheets, blankets, pajamas, and towels in hot water, and provide separate hand towels if a family member is sick
