Chemicals

For starters, understand the difference between household cleaners and disinfectants. Many household cleaning sprays and wipes will kill off germs when used properly. Though, for the best results, you want to be using a true disinfectant. A disinfecting spray or wipe will be the most effective at killing bacteria that carry major viruses. The best chemicals for this may already be found in a cabinet in your home. Try mixing hydrogen peroxide and mix it with water. Bleach, or rubbing alcohol, diluted with water is also a great disinfectant. You don’t need to buy any of the fancy stuff. Just check all your closets and drawers.
