It is important to clean your home after someone becomes ill in order to prevent the spread of infection to others. It does not mean that if one member of the household becomes ill, everyone else in the house will become ill as well. Here are some pointers that you can use in housekeeping and disinfecting your home after someone gets sick. .

1. Change the linens on your bed. When you’re sick, you spend most of your time in bed, which leaves your bed vulnerable to infections and viruses. To avoid getting sick or spreading diseases to others, the first thing you should do after you get better is change your bed sheets. It is preferable to change all of the bed sheets in the house, and not just the ones used by the sick person.                     

2. Vacuum your bed. After you’ve removed your bed sheets and placed them in the washing machine, vacuum your bed. Germs and viruses can spread throughout your mattresses, which could be the source of illnesses such as coughs and colds.

3. Wipe all surfaces and windows. Your surfaces and windows may be a major contributor to your sickness. Dirt and dust accumulate in these areas, which can lead to health problems. Wipe down windows and surfaces such as tables, counters, doorknobs, and more using a cleaning spray and microfiber cloth. Ensure that everything in the house is disinfected, particularly where the sick person stayed and touched.

4. Disinfect toys. If one of your children is sick, it’s possible that he or she acquired the disease from one of his or her toys. Cleaning and sanitizing toys is necessary since children occasionally bite their toys while playing. Disinfect them with non-toxic, child-friendly disinfectants. 

5. Maintain good air quality. Viruses and diseases can survive in the air for a long time after you’ve become ill. Allow sunlight and fresh air to enter your home by opening your windows.
