Household surfaces which are high-touch areas need to be cleaned at least once a day, multiple times each day if needed.
These include, tables, chairs, food preparation surfaces, basins, remotes, door knobs, light switches and toilets.
• Wash the surface with water and a mild detergent.
• Dilute household bleach according to manufacturer’s instructions.
• Rewash surfaces with diluted bleach mixture.
• Wipe surfaces with a clean cloth to dry them.
• Place cloths used in the wash and thoroughly wash them before the next use.
*Remember to always use disposable gloves when cleaning with bleach or other household cleaners. Dispose of gloves after one use.
