Sanitizing

4/13/2020 (Permalink)

In today’s world, there is a big focus on stocking up on sanitization products, bottled water, and even toilet paper. Furthermore, many people are purchasing excessive amounts of isopropyl rubbing alcohol and more harsh cleaning chemicals like bleach. It is important to understand how to safely use such things and also how to keep your home clean and sanitized.

Know Your Chemicals

The most important tip to keep in mind is to never mix chemicals. Most people are not chemists and have no idea what happens on a molecular level when they mix two household cleaning products. Therefore, you should never mix cleaning chemicals unless advised to do so from the product labels. Additionally, do not clean with harsh chemicals without proper ventilation in the area. If you experience a headache, feel lightheaded, or have difficulty breathing, leave the area immediately.

Know the Places to Clean

Different illnesses have different forms of transmission, though the most common contraction method is through the touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. Be sure to thoroughly clean basic things such as door handles, knobs, countertops, tables, windows, and appliances. Additionally, clean things such as your car, keyboards, controllers, chairs, pillows, garbage bins, and especially your bathroom.
