Usually, a simple cleaning with a household cleaner removes enough germs to decrease the risk of infection on surfaces and furniture. However, if a household member is ill or a COVID-19 positive person has been in your establishment within the last 24 hours, you should use covid disinfectants to protect your home, spa, or salon.
If you have a person who has a higher risk of infection in your home, you should clean more frequently with disinfecting cleaners compatible with each surface, such as disinfecting wipes and disinfecting sprays. The label on the disinfectant product will tell you what personal protective equipment (PPE) is necessary for the safe use of your EPA-approved product.
You can start with high-touch surfaces like tables, light switches, and chairs. Many products require that you keep the surfaces saturated with disinfecting cleaners for a specified time. The saturation time should be on the product label. During the entire process, you should maintain adequate ventilation with a fan and open doors. After you finish disinfecting, wash your hands for about 20 seconds with hand soap and water.
