In addition to social isolation, the basic guide to preventing the spread of coronavirus is thorough and regular hand washing. But so far, little has been said about the places we come into contact with every day, but which we might not have to think about disinfecting, writes Delfi Dekor.

First of all, we can cite the example of phones that we constantly touch. Smartphones and other devices, laptops, touch screens of other gadgets in the current situation need to be disinfected.

But besides them, at home you can find a lot of surfaces through which bacteria and viruses can spread, which you can not guess at all:

Door handles and switches

We touch them almost always when we enter or leave the premises, but how often do we wash them?

Drawer handles and cabinet doors at the edges

To remove external contaminants, we wash the facades and cabinet doors, but in the situation of the current spread of the virus, we need to carefully disinfect all the handles and edges of furniture drawers and doors that are touched by hands when opening and closing.

Remote controls, keyboards and mouse

First, press the remote control buttons on the TV, and then with the same hands send popcorn into your mouth? All kinds of remotes can simply be teeming with bacteria!

Refrigerator, washing machine, oven and other household appliances

We use household appliances every day and when disinfecting our homes, it is necessary to pay attention to household domestic helpers. Did you sanitize the oven handle that you regularly pull with your hands? Knobs and buttons to control the stove? The door of the washing machine? Buttons and pipe of the vacuum cleaner?

Pepper shaker and salt shaker

Or other spice containers. The most reliable, of course, is to wash your hands both before and after eating.

When disinfecting household surfaces and equipment, you should use a disinfectant or napkins and try to repeat the trajectory of everyday tasks when cleaning, in order to understand what household items you actually constantly touch.

In the case of many types of surfaces, soap and water are sufficient for disinfection, but if possible, use special disinfectants. In the case of electronic equipment, you must adhere to the manufacturer's instructions or use alcohol-based cleaning wipes with an alcohol content of at least 70 percent. After cleaning, wipe dry.
