Cleaning and disinfecting are essential for maintaining a healthy living space, especially in times of illness outbreaks. Do start by cleaning surfaces with soap and water to remove dirt and debris before disinfecting. Focus on high-touch areas like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops. Use an EPA-approved disinfectant and follow the instructions carefully, allowing sufficient contact time. Don't mix different cleaning products, as this can produce harmful chemical reactions. Avoid using expired disinfectants, as they may be less effective. Overuse of disinfectants can lead to harmful exposure, so disinfect only when necessary and in high-risk areas. Lastly, ensure proper ventilation during and after disinfection to minimize exposure to fumes.
