Baker Sandoval Cleaning Lists Steps to Clean & Disinfect Your House After the Flu

Disinfect Sheets & Bedding When Sick: When you are sick and not feeling good the first thing most people want to do is to get in their bed and sleep. This is a great way to help get over being sick. You want to rest as much as you can and allow the virus of bacteria to work its way out of your system. The problem is that if you are all wrapped up in your bedding and blankets breathing, coughing and sneezing all over it. When you are starting to feel better you need to start with the source. That means you need to strip your bedding all the way down to the mattress and get them into the wash. Be sure to wash them in warm water and lay out the pillows in the sun or run through the dryer. You may want to have your mattress treated as well if you are concerned that it has been contaminated.
Clean Bathroom After Stomach Virus: Although you are sending the majority of your time in your bed if you are sick you will need to take some time out to use the bathroom. The bathroom has several surfaces that you will be touching when you go in. The seat of the toilet, the sink and faucet, the toilet roll and even the shower and bath. These are all hard surfaces that the germs can stick to and live on. That is why you need to clean the bathroom thoroughly so that you can remove the germs that will otherwise be spread.
Clean Common Areas of House After Flu or Illness: Lastly it is important to clean the areas that are commonly touched and passed by. This will include door knobs, handles and stair rails. When you walk around you will be touching these surfaces and then the rest of the family will too. You can use Clorox disinfecting wipes to wash down all these surfaces. You can also open the windows and allow some fresh air in the house as well.
