More indoor activity and dry indoor air can mean a higher likelihood of getting sick during the winter. Keep germs at bay with these helpful winter cleaning tips. You may not automatically think of cold and flu season when you think of cold weather. But some illness-causing viruses survive better in cool, dry conditions common in the fall and winter.
First, let’s break down the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source: • Cleaning: This process involves scrubbing a surface with water and soap. It can help remove most, but not all, germs and dirt from a surface. • Sanitizing: This process involves using diluted bleach or sanitizing sprays to reduce the germs on a surface. Cleaning a surface before sanitizing it is important.
• Disinfecting: This process involves the use of stronger bleach solutions or chemicals. It can help clear most germs on a surface or object. Cleaning a surface before disinfecting it is a good idea. Before you start sanitizing and disinfecting, it’s a good idea to identify your home’s most high touch surfaces, like doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and appliance handles. Clean these surfaces most often. Also, regularly wipe down visibly dirty surfaces, like countertops. Take extra care to sanitize or disinfect if someone in your household feels sick or has been in close physical contact with someone feeling sick. Keeping a list in your head of surfaces to clean can feel overwhelming. Create a paper or digital checklist of daily and weekly cleaning tasks, which can help offload some of the overwhelm.
Did you know the humidity level in your home can affect your risk of getting sick with a viral illness? A 2021 study suggested that moderate humidity levels between 40 and 60%Trusted Source may reduce the risk of viral transmission and make some viruses less likely to survive in the air. Plus, dry indoor conditions can make you more likely to experience allergies. Many home thermostats can detect and display indoor humidity levels. If your home’s humidity drops under 30%, consider investing in a humidifier and taking extra precautions as cold and flu season arrives, which can include more frequent handwashing and disinfecting surfaces.
You regularly shed sweat and skin cells, whether you go about your day or drift off to dreamland. All that grime can build up on soft surfaces around your home, including bedsheets, pillows, and blankets.
Aim to change and wash your sheets weekly to prevent the buildup of bacteria-causing dirt and grime. Regularly laundering bed clothes can also help minimize allergy symptoms by targeting allergens and dust mites hidden in your sheets.
If you have a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, it’s important to regularly change the filters to keep your home’s air clean. Here are some guidelines based on recommendations from the company Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning:
If cleaning and keeping your space tidy seems challenging, know that it doesn’t have to take up all your free time. A bit of prep and the right tools can help you get your indoor environment clean and germ-free, minimize germ transmission, and stay healthy for the holidays.
