Covid-19 Cleaning

First of all, to be able to protect yourself against COVID-19 and keep your home virus-free, you need to understand the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting:

• Cleaning is a process that removes dust, dirt, and impurities from objects and surfaces in your home. While cleaning physically removes germs, viruses, and pathogens from the surfaces, reducing their number, it doesn’t kill them.
• Sanitizing refers to decreasing the number of viruses and germs present on different surfaces to a safer level. This is achieved either by disinfecting or cleaning.
• Disinfecting refers to killing viruses and other pathogens present on different objects and surfaces. Disinfectants should be applied after the surface has already been cleaned to further minimize the risk of spreading infection.

With Sunflower Maids, you get a high-quality home disinfection service in Kansas City that will let nothing fall through the cracks. Our team will pay close attention to all the high-traffic areas and sanitize every room in your house, focusing on the items that are used multiple times during the day by all family members.

To keep you home in Kansas City COVID-19-free at all times, you need to create a comprehensive cleaning schedule and do your best to stick to it. While you probably won’t have time and energy to sanitize your house top to bottom every day, you should still try to disinfect all the areas that are most often covered with germs once or, if possible, a few times a day. These include:

• Faucets
• Kitchen and bathroom counters
• Doorknobs
• Tables
• Staircase railing
• Light switches
• Refrigerator
• Remote controls and other electronics
• Phones, etc.

To ensure maximum results, you should first clean them, using proven cleaning products, and then apply effective, yet safe disinfectants. After you spray the surface, you should leave the disinfectant to work for a couple of minutes before wiping it down.

If this is too overwhelming, and you are not sure that you can fit this routine into your packed schedule, call Sunflower Maids. We will do our best to meet your unique cleaning needs and provide you with a customized cleaning and disinfection experience in Kansas City and beyond.

Having in mind that COVID-19 is a novel virus, there is still a lot of research to be done to discover what the most effective ways of fighting against it are. What we know so far is that not all disinfectants are equally effective at killing it.

To ensure that you will keep your house in the Kansas City area virus-free and safe, you should use EPA-registered disinfectants that have been shown to work effectively against a wide array of viruses, including human coronaviruses.

Here at Sunflower Maids, we use proven, commercial-grade cleaning products and disinfectants that will eliminate the virus from your household and reduce the chances of it spreading. Reach out to us or schedule your appointment online with zero hassle!

In case you can’t manage to find any of the EPA-approved disinfectants, you can make your own as well. You may search for homemade disinfectant recipes online and try out those that are effective at killing COVID-19, as well as a wide spectrum of other viruses and pathogens.

For instance, a mixture of bleach and water (⅓ cup of bleach per gallon of water) can be used for disinfecting hard surfaces. When it comes to cleaning your electronics, unless otherwise stated in the manual, you can use 70% alcohol to sanitize them properly

CAN YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DISINFECTANT WIPES?

You can also learn how to make bleach- or alcohol-based disinfectant wipes. They are very practical for quick clean-ups during the day. All you need for this project is bleach or isopropyl alcohol, water, paper towels, and an airtight storage container. Before storing the wipes in the container, make sure to submerge them in diluted bleach or alcohol and leave them there for a couple of minutes so that they soak up the mixture.

While homemade disinfectants can do the job, relying on professional help is always the safest option. Not only do they have all the necessary equipment and cleaning products, but they also know how to use them properly.
Here at Sonflower Maids in Kansas City, our team is trained to use the cleaning and sanitizing solutions according to the instructions and safety standards, providing our clients with maximum results.

While most often spread by respiratory droplets, COVID-19 can be present on a variety of surfaces for a longer time as well:

• In aerosols: up to 3 hours
• On copper: up to 4 hours
• On cardboard: up to one day
• On stainless steel and plastic items: up to 3 days, etc.

To avoid transferring it from the surface to your mouth or nose, you should hire reliable disinfection services to take care of your household and get rid of the virus for you.
