Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Home After Illness

March 10, 2024

When someone in your household has been sick, it’s essential to thoroughly clean and disinfect your home to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. This guide will show you how to do it effectively.

Preparation is Key

Before you start cleaning, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. You’ll need a vacuum cleaner, mop, dustpan, disinfectant spray or wipes, rubber gloves, and a bucket.

Step 1: Remove Clutter

Pick up any items that are out of place, such as toys, books, or clothes, and put them away in their designated spaces. This will help prevent the spread of germs and make cleaning easier.

Step 2: Vacuum and Mop

Vacuum all floors, paying extra attention to areas where the sick person spent a lot of time. Use a disinfectant spray or wipes to sanitize the vacuum cleaner’s filters and exterior surfaces. Next, mop all floors with a disinfectant solution, making sure to cover all high-traffic areas.

Step 3: Clean and Disinfect Surfaces

Wipe down all surfaces that the sick person came into contact with, including countertops, tables, chairs, doorknobs, light switches, and remotes. Use a disinfectant wipe or spray and let it sit for 10-15 seconds before wiping clean.

Step 4: Sanitize Bathrooms

Clean the bathroom thoroughly, paying attention to high-touch areas like the toilet handle, sink faucet, and shower or bathtub. Use a disinfectant cleaner to scrub the toilet bowl, shower walls, and bathtub. Wipe down all surfaces with a disinfectant wipe.

Step 5: Clean Bedding and Linens

Wash all bedding, towels, and linens in hot water (at least 140°F) to kill any bacteria or viruses. Dry them on high heat for at least 30 minutes. If items can’t be washed, use a disinfectant spray to sanitize them.

Step 6: Disinfect Toys and Other Items

Disinfect any toys, stuffed animals, or other items that the sick person came into contact with. Use a disinfectant wipe or spray and let it sit for 10-15 seconds before wiping clean.

Step 7: Open Windows and Use Fans

Open windows to allow fresh air to circulate and help eliminate any lingering germs. Use fans to circulate the air and speed up the process.

Cleaning and disinfecting your home after illness is a crucial step in preventing the spread of germs and bacteria. By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to creating a clean and healthy environment for yourself and your loved ones. Remember, preparation is key, so make sure you have all the necessary supplies before starting the cleaning process.

What Our Clients Say

Melanie Howell

Had Alissa from Tucson Home Cleaners over for a deep clean, and the service was wow! With my crazy schedule, cleaning's been on the back burner. Alissa just zoomed through the place, hitting spots I totally forgot existed. My kitchen and bathrooms? Sparkling. And she was super cool about working around my chaos. Seriously, if you're thinking about it, go for it. Alissa's a gem.

Michael Smith

Huge shoutout to Tucson Home Cleaners! Just moved into my first condo and wanted everything to be spick and span. These guys made it happen. From the floors to the countertops, everything was spotless when I walked in. Moving day was a breeze, thanks to their hard work. 10/10 would hire them again!

Emily Rodriguez

I recently booked Tucson Home Cleaners for a premium cleaning service. It was worth every penny. My place has never looked better. They paid attention to every detail, even those hard-to-reach spots I always forget about. Walking into a clean home after a long day at work was the best feeling ever. Highly recommend their premium cleaning service.

David Thomas

Had the post-construction cleaning service done by Tucson Home Cleaners, and I couldn't be happier. After weeks of renovations, my house was a mess. But these guys came in and worked their magic. They left no corner untouched, and now my home feels brand new. Professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched.

Jennifer Miller

Tucson Home Cleaners are absolute gems! Moms know how holding a children's party can be exhausting, but booking them for both before and after cleanup was a great idea. Before the party, they made sure everything was sparkling clean. And afterwards, they arrived promptly and worked their magic, leaving my house spotless again. It was such a relief to kick back and relax, knowing they had everything under control.
