4 things to clean after having a cold or flu

When someone has a cold or flu in the house, a thorough clean will help protect and refresh your home.

1. AIR OUT THE HOUSE, LET FRESH AIR IN
   Open the curtains and windows to allow the fresh air and sunshine to flow threw your house for at least 20 minutes a day.

2. SHEETS
   High temperatures are common when you’re not well, which can result in excess sweating which bacteria will then linger over. Stuffed teddies can be put in sun as the UV from the sun kills bacteria.

   Wash these in warm water

   · Sheets

   · Pillows

   · Duvet covers

   · Towels (fresh towel daily when unwell)

   · Blankets

3. BATHROOM
   Germs can linger on most areas in the bathroom. Use an antibacterial cleaner to clean these surfaces.

   · Taps

   · Sink

   · Vanity

   · Light switch

   · Door handles

   · Toilet

4. FREQUENTLY TOUCHED PLACES
   These surfaces will benefit from a wipe-down as well

   · Door handles

   · Light switches

   · Kettle and other highly used kitchen appliances

   And don’t forget tablets, phones could do with a wipe.
