Cleaning and sanitization have been top of mind for everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coronavirus germs can live on some surfaces for up to 3 days. While there is no fool-proof method of prevention, there are some ways that you can better protect yourself and loved ones from potentially becoming infected, like routinely disinfecting commonly touched household surfaces and objects that you bring into your home. The Wet wipes and sprays is one of those products that can help prevent your family from COVID-19

How to use disinfectant wipes

For bleach-based wipes, the surface needs to remain wet for at least one minute to disinfect it properly. “The thing to remember about sanitizing wipes,” says senior scientist, Julia MacDougall, “is that for full effectiveness, you have to let the surface soak for the right amount of time or you’re not disinfecting”. Remember that any time you’re handling bleach, you should be wearing gloves and in a room with proper ventilation. Don’t wear clothes that you’re particularly fond of while making or using bleach wipes because the bleach may discolor them. You should also avoid cleaning anything metal, especially stainless steel, with bleach because it can cause it to rust prematurely.

For alcohol-based wipes, wet the surface completely. Your surface is disinfected once the surface dries. Wear gloves to prevent skin irritation.

These wipes are intended for use on hard surfaces. To disinfect soft surfaces such as carpeted floor, rugs, and drapes, the CDC recommends using soap and water or other cleaners deemed appropriate. If you can put them in the laundry, make sure that you launder items according to the manufacturer’s instructions and use the warmest appropriate water setting. Let the items dry completely.

Where to use disinfectant wipes

There are many surfaces in your home that you probably don’t clean as often as you should. And while hard high-touch surfaces are better incubators for the virus, it can live on soft surfaces such as your clothing and carpets, too. The NCDC notes that some of the most high-touch surfaces in your home include:

• Tables
• Doorknobs
• Light switches
• Countertops
• Handles
• Desks
• Phones
• Keyboards
• Toilets
• Faucets
• Sinks
• Tablets and other touch screens
• Remote controls
• Clothing
• Towels
• Linens

Remember, another way to help prevent the spread of the virus is to wash your hands thoroughly (with soap and water for at least 20 seconds) and often.  Buy effective high quality Disinfectant Wet Wipes in Lagos Nigeria
