There are many corners of home and office, where there may be viruses and bacteria hidden. I am afraid that the children at home will touch each other and don’t wash their hands, so I eat all the viruses. It just so happened that the New Year cleaning is suitable for a lot of cleaning. Which places are most easily overlooked? Pediatricians remind that places such as doorknobs, light buttons, desks, keyboards, mice, etc., are most common and most likely to have bacteria when touched by hands. They can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with diluted bleach and alcohol.
Stay at home for a longer time during the Spring Festival! Environmental disinfection is very important
This year, due to the impact of the epidemic, the proportion of people who are willing to clean up has increased. According to a survey conducted by Japan's Duskin Company, only 52.5% of the people actually cleaned up in 2019, but this year the proportion of people who want to clean their homes has risen to 71.2%.
plus the severe epidemic may be more time to stay at home, clean the house so that the child will not get sick, and live more comfortable, but how can you clean it? Can wiping with a rag or mop remove the virus?
Bleaching water disinfects it and needs to stand for 5-10 minutes! This is effective in sterilization
In fact, bleaching water and alcohol in life are easy to clean at home. Yan Junyu, director of the pediatric department of Taoyuan Branch of Taipei Veterans General Hospital, suggested: "You can use diluted 0.05% bleaching water to wipe it, such as floors, cabinets, kitchens, children's toys, sinks, faucets, bathrooms, and toilets."
"But remember to let the bleaching water sit for five to ten minutes after wiping it, and then rinse it with clean water or wipe the area you just cleaned again, which will be effective!" Yan Junyu reminded. Before using bleach, remember to wear a mask and gloves to protect your hands and avoid respiratory tract irritation.
viruses are hidden in the place where hands are most frequently touched!
In addition, "75% alcohol" is suitable for small-scale wiping and disinfection. Yan Junyu said: "For example, door handles, light buttons, mobile phone screens, desks, computer keyboards, mouse, etc., the places where hands often touch are most likely to hide viruses. The COVID-19 virus survives stainless steel and plastic items for about 3-7 days. After bleaching environment, it will die early. The virus on the surface of the plastic can survive for 72 hours, so the environment must be disinfected."
According to the guidelines issued by the Central Epidemic Command Center, for medical hospitals, accommodation institutions, long-term care sites, etc., it is recommended to perform cleaning and disinfection at least once a day. The area where hands often contact should be frequently cleaned and disinfected. Although the risks at home are not as high as those units, regular cleaning and disinfection will undoubtedly only benefit but not harm the health of the whole family.
