For Sanitizing Household Items During the Pandemic

While research on COVID-19 is ongoing, the experts have suggested that frequently cleaning and disinfecting your home is essential for keeping yourself and your family safe and healthy.  

1. As busy parents, you may not have time to regularly clean the house from top to bottom. Instead, focus on sanitizing high-touch surfaces daily such as door knobs, counter tops, cell phones, remote controls, light switches, etc.
    
2. Before disinfecting or sanitizing items and surfaces, remove all visible dirt and grime.  This ensures the actual surface is exposed and helps the disinfectant do its job. 
    
3. There is a whole world of options out there for disinfecting and sanitizing. When using chemical sanitizers, be sure not to mix products together. The outcome could be dangerous or one product could simply neutralize another, causing it to be ineffective.
    
4. Due to the pandemic, an increased need for sanitizers has driven people to look for options beyond chemicals. If you do not wish to use chemicals, Germicidal UV Light devices have been a staple method of sterilization for years and is used in hospitals, airplanes, offices, and factories. 
    
5. Don't forget the basics! One of the most important things you can do to keep the virus away is to ensure everyone in your family are regularly washing their hands.
