There are good reasons to keep your home clean and hygienic, we need to remove the dust from the home. Make sure you are following the correct cleaning instructions.

The Institute of Public Health offers a range of advice for patients isolated at home by the coronavirus. The sick should, among other things, sleep in a different room than those with whom they live. If possible, use a separate bathroom and toilet. If this is not possible, separate towels should be used.

The FHI also recommends washing your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. They recommend that surfaces such as the bathroom sink, toilet, door handles, and the kitchen sink be cleaned frequently with ordinary cleaners.

- Can we prevent the spread of the corona virus by washing the house well?

- Yes you can. The best way to remove microorganisms is to use a clean microfiber cloth lightly moistened with clean water.

Microfiber

- Moisture of the cloth is best when you take it out of the washing machine. Fold the cloth three times and clean remotes, door handles, window handles, refrigerator doors, toilet knob, and other places to be touched frequently. "Make sure you clean each spot with the clean side of the cloth and change the cloth frequently"

According to Furuberg, a microfiber cloth with clean water removes 99,9 percent of all microorganisms, but it's important to wash your hands before cleaning.

Door handles and other things we touch frequently need to be washed daily, but at home we don't need to use cleaning gloves and disinfectants. Gloves can be dangerous and help spread infection if not removed properly.

According to Furuberg, washing the surface with soapy water and a regular cloth helps spread microorganisms around your home as you put the cloth in a bucket before washing elsewhere. It is therefore best to use detergents in the spray method

90 degrees in the wash

To get rid of viruses, towels should be washed at 90 degrees.

- The microfiber cloth loses its effect after repeated washing. When microfiber starts to feel sticky, it doesn't work that well anymore.

If someone is sick at home, it is recommended to change the linen every other day and wash at 90 degrees. If you are not sick, bed linen should be washed at 60 degrees.
