We cannot go back to our pre-COVID days," Dr. Bonnie Henry said. "We have to find that balance that allows us to get things moving … but not to go back to the place where this virus can take off."

As Covid-19 is not our everyday virus, we all are helping in prevent the spreading of the coronavirus. Let's talk about how appliances at home can benefit us to stop a range of viruses, as well as pathogens that transmit disease.

1. Washing machines

Some washing machines have a sanitize or steam settings. Using these settings along with detergent, bleach and peroxide can kill germs. Drying laundry on the dryer’s hot cycle for 45 minutes also is effective against certain viruses and germs.

2. Dishwashers

Dishwashers that feature a sanitize cycle must meet standards set by NSF International, a consumer protection group. Certified dishwashers must reach a final rinse temperature of 150 degrees and achieve a minimum 99.999 percent reduction of bacteria. If you have a sanitizing dishwasher, you can disinfect pet bowls, scrub pads, some kids’ toys and more. Always make sure your dishes and other items are dishwashing safe.
Stay Safe. Be kind. Help Each Other. 

3. Air Purifiers

Household air purifiers can help, but shouldn’t replace thorough cleaning and sanitizing. Some purifiers use ultraviolet light, which has been shown to kill germs, but effectiveness can vary by model. While some purifiers and air filters advertise the ability to capture viruses, bacteria and common allergens, they don’t necessarily kill germs and viruses.

4. Steam Cleaners

A steam cleaner is a good solution for cleaning and disinfecting things you can’t wash in the washer. Steam can kill 99.9 percent of dust mites, germs and bacteria including such dangerous germs as salmonella, staph bacteria and E. coli. Steam cleaners also remove dirt and stains from carpet, upholstery, drapes and other fabrics.
Look no further, we are your best option.

Daily Disinfecting Routine 

In the kitchen:
  • Clean and disinfect countertops, sink hardware, cabinet pulls, appliance handles and cutting boards.
  • Use dishcloths you can wash on the hot cycle. Replace towels and dishcloths each day.
  • Clean spills so they don’t attract more dirt and bacteria.
  • Empty wastebaskets and take out any garbage daily. Spray trash cans with disinfectant each time.

In the Bathroom:
  • Clean and disinfect the bathroom faucet and handles.
  • Empty wastebaskets and disinfect them daily.
  • Spray the toilet and flush handle with disinfectant or sanitizing wipes.
  • Do not use bath towels or wash clothes more than once to prevent the growth of germs and bacteria.

Weekly Disinfecting Routine

In the kitchen:
• Wash kitchen sink strainers in the dishwasher.
• Remove and hand wash oven and range knobs.
​• Clean and disinfect the kitchen sinks.


In the bathroom:
• Wash your toothbrush holder and toothbrushes and disinfect them. If they are dishwasher safe, just run them through with your dishes.
•Clean and disinfect your bathtub and shower, including the shower doors and handles. If you have a shower curtain that is machine washable, throw it in the washer.

​
Other rooms:
• Wash bedding in hot water. Limit shaking out your blankets and sheets before washing to minimize the spread of dust and germs.
• Mop hard-surface floors and vacuum carpets.
• Disinfect computer keyboards and mice, light switches, cell phones and remote controls. Be sure to turn off the power on any electronics before cleaning or disinfecting.
