The Coronavirus is now said to enter a third wave of transmission. While you can do little to control its rapid spread, you can certainly keep yourself and your loved ones safe at home.
Do follow these tips to keep your home safe this season:
Leading brands in the Indian bed linen space have formulated a new range of anti-viral bedsheets that keep you and your loved ones safe from infectious viruses and microbes. Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t. Created with a HealthGuard finish, these bedsheets provide up to 99.9% protection against viruses and germs that cause a range of illnesses, from the common cold to the Coronavirus. The sheets show the same efficiency after washing, and the fabric is 100% cotton to impart a smooth and soft finish. These anti-viral bedsheets should put a stop to your worries about the illness entering your home. These sheets are also beneficial for those suffering from a range of respiratory and visual disorders.
The cushion you lay your head on does give you the comfort and cosy support you seek – but its cover harbours a bevy of microbes and other impurities that can make you really sick. The cushion cover absorbs sweat and oil from your skin and hair, dead skin flakes, dandruff, fallen hair, atmospheric pollutants like pollen and dust, and even infectious viruses transferred from your skin. Those who face a sudden outbreak of acne or pimples, or who develop sniffles and cough as they sleep, must first check the hygiene levels of the cushion covers to find the cause. Wash cushion and pillow covers after a week of regular use, in antibacterial liquid detergent and warm water to remove all traces of impurities.
Door mats gather dust and grime over repeated use. Most people dust them every week, but while this may dislodge some of the dust, other impurities remain embedded in them. Door mats are hotbeds for microbial and viral activity, since they harbour dirt, moisture from footwear and wet feet, atmospheric pollution, etc. When not cleaned often, you might end up tracking the invisible impurities from them around the house with your bare feet. You can have them professionally steamed and vacuumed before shampooing with carpet/rug shampoo.
Your clothes harbour atmospheric pollutants and may attract dust and grime when you sweat and your clothes become damp. You might get caught in a sudden downpour and your clothes might become mucky. Further, a person infected with the flu or Coronavirus germs may sneeze or cough near you, and those germs may settle on your clothes. Unknown to you, the clothes you wear trail back a lot of germs and infectious microbes, and these can be transferred to other family members. Hence, ensure that you wash your clothes after just one use – even if you’ve been outside for just an hour – with antibacterial soap and warm water.
Many of us have been ordering takeaway food, groceries, clothes and other items online. But have you been sanitising the package before opening it, and washing your hands after handling the contents? Unhygienic packages can transfer germs to your hands, and you can transfer them all over the house. So the moment you take delivery of any package, spray it with sanitizer and let it dry before opening with washed hands.
