How to Clean and Disinfect Your Home When Somebody Gets Sick

According to the CDC, viral illnesses generally spread through tiny germ-filled droplets that are expelled when a sick person, sneezes, coughs, talks, etc.

Never fear, there are some things you can do to minimize or eliminate your exposure to these nasty germs.

Wash Your Hands Make sure they are covered with soap and scrub for at least twenty seconds. Scrub your entire hand up to your writs, including in between your fingers and under your nails.

Keep Your Distance Generally, six feet should be sufficient for holding a conversation. If the person you’re talking to is sneezing or coughing, it’s probably best to save the conversation for later and get out of there.

Stop Touching Your Face If you do need to touch your face, wash your hands thoroughly before and after.

Limit Exposure to the Sick Person If the sick family member can use only the bathroom and bedroom until the virus runs its course, you’ll have two rooms to worry about keeping clean, instead of the entire house.
