Prevention is better than cure, so equip yourself with gloves before you dive into cleaning. If you do, you’ll be able to clean your hands quicker once the work is done, for one. As for two, you’ll protect your hands from harsh chemicals that can be found in some of the more powerful disinfectants.  Speaking of strong chemicals, letting some fresh air in is definitely a good idea, not only while you’re cleaning and disinfecting, but also simply to get rid of stale or funny smells, and any airborne viruses.
