Disinfecting Your Home

Disinfecting your home is a crucial step to help ensure your household is virus-free. The EPA has released a list of disinfectants that are proven effective against the Covid-19 virus. We suggest you proceed with disinfecting your home regularly and diligently follow safety protocols whenever someone comes home from the outside. This includes appropriately cleaning the person and his or her clothes as well as any items they may have brought from the outside.

If you're hosting a home viewing when for potential buyers of your home, you'll also want to minimize any contact exposure from visitors coming to look at your house. Masks and gloves are an excellent first step, as well as following social distancing guidelines correctly. A disinfecting foot mat at the entry of your home will help avoid any viruses from the outside, getting onto your floor. You'll also want to make sure all doors and cabinets are open so that guests have less opportunity to touch surfaces inside your home.

Hand Washing and Getting Home

As an envelope-type virus, one of the most effective ways of getting rid of the virus is by washing your hands with plain soap and water. Soap actively penetrates the barrier that protects the virus and results in it getting killed. Washing your hands can help prevent the spread of the virus. If you're getting home from work or anywhere else, you'll want to make sure you disinfect any items you bring in, and you properly wash your hands. This helps ensure that even if you have anything that has had contact with the virus, you effectively stop it from getting to anyone in your home.
