Keep Your Home Flu-Free This Season
With these five simple steps, you can set yourself up for a healthy, happy home this flu season.
Flu season is upon us, which means staying healthy takes a little extra care and preparation. Fortunately, there are measures you can take to keep your home safe and germ-free this flu season.
1. Wash Your Hands Often
It may sound simple, but your best defense against the flu is regular handwashing. Whether you’re home, in the office, or out in town, chances are you’re coming into contact with germs. Taking a minute to wash your hands thoroughly using soap and water will lower your risk of catching an illness — or spreading it to someone else in your home. You can also apply hand sanitizer when there isn’t a sink nearby.
2. Get a Flu Shot
Getting your annual flu shot can increase prevention and strengthen your immune response, boosting your odds of staying healthy throughout the season. Check with local health care providers and pharmacies in your area to schedule your flu shot.
3. Clean Your Home Regularly
Daily and weekly cleanings will help keep your home germ-free and your family healthy. When cleaning, aim to target heavy-use areas like:
- Doorknobs
- TV remotes
- Countertops
- Refrigerator handles
- Faucets
- Bathroom fixtures
4. Sign up for a Deep Cleaning Service
Consider hiring a professional maid cleaning service to give your home a thorough refresh at the beginning and end of flu season. A cleaning service like Maid Bright will deep clean surfaces like carpets and floors as well as high-traffic areas like your bathtubs, showers, and kitchens. A one-time or occasional cleaning service will give you peace of mind that your home is hygienic.
5. Air Out Your House
Opening the windows and doors may sound unpleasant in the winter, but it’s a great way to refresh your home. A blast of fresh air will get rid of stale air and increase ventilation, making it harder for bacteria and viruses to spread. In general, increased airflow boosts air quality and helps lower the risk of disease transmission. Put on an extra layer or two to stay cozy and embrace the cooler outside air regularly this season.
