Diwali cleaning has long been a trend, but it has never been more necessary to maintain sparkling clean counters and disinfect doorknobs than it is right now. This is because disinfecting regularly touched objects and surfaces every day is one suggested precaution to help prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Although experts are still learning more about the virus that causes COVID-19, it is known that it spreads mainly through respiratory droplets from person to person and also through “surface transmission.” This is the term for what can happen when you touch a surface that has coughed or sneezed on by someone with the virus, and then you touch your nose, mouth or eyes. It is assumed that this is the predominant way the virus spreads.
So, maintaining hand hygiene is one way to stop this spread of COVID-19 by either washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. It is also important to keep your home’s high-touch surfaces clean. See the tips for keeping your home safe and tidy during COVID-19. At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, you can also learn more about disinfecting your home against Covid.

Two ways to eliminate germs from mobile devices and computers are as follows:
-Cleaning: physical removal through the washing of germs and impurities from surfaces. This does not destroy the germs, but eliminates them from the surface and reduces the likelihood of transmission. This is like using soap to wash your face.
-Disinfecting: to remove germs living on surfaces by using chemicals. The surface is not actually “cleaned” by disinfecting, but it rids the surface of live viruses and bacteria. The CDC notes that disinfecting a surface will further reduce the risk of spreading germs after washing it. This is like using a sanitizer to disinfect your hand.

If someone in your home gets sick, take special precautions
Even if you take precautions to prevent COVID-19 from spreading, someone in your family will likely get sick. Bear in mind that most people who get sick with COVID-19 will only have mild symptoms and will recover at home. If anyone in your family experiences COVID-19 symptoms, the CDC suggests adopting these cleaning instructions. If necessary, the person who is sick should stay in a separate bedroom with their own bathroom. Interact as little as possible with the person who is sick while also ensuring the treatment that your family member needs.

Wash the dishes and utensils of a sick person with warm water and soap. Make sure you’re wearing gloves or using a dishwasher. Offer their own lined trash. When handling and disposing of garbage, use gloves and wash your hands afterward.
