Get Started
- Ventilate rooms before you clean. Allow fresh air to circulate for at least X minutes. If possible, leave all windows open during the entire cleaning process.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before and after each cleaning. Use soap and water, and scrub for at least X seconds. If that’s not possible, use a hand sanitizer with at least X% alcohol.

- Stock up on paper towels, disinfectant wipes, and other disposable cleaning supplies. If you prefer to clean with reusable products, machine-wash them at the highest heat setting appropriate for the material.
- Clean, then disinfect. Cleaning is when you use soap or detergent and water to remove dirt, germs and impurities. Disinfecting refers to the use of chemicals like bleach or alcohol to kill germs. Doing both is the best way to reduce the spread of infection.
- Use the right disinfectant. Diluted household bleach solutions, cleaning products with at least X% alcohol, and most common disinfectants registered by the Environmental Protection Agency are believed to be effective against the coronavirus.
- Focus on frequently touched surfaces. Light switches, doorknobs, remote controls, and faucet handles are just a few of the areas you’ll need to disinfect.
- Don’t forget about sofas, rugs, drapes, and other soft, porous surfaces. Carefully remove any visible dirt or grime, then use the appropriate cleaner for the material. If possible, machine-wash items according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

- Clean and disinfect laundry baskets and hampers. Consider using a liner that’s either disposable or machine washable.
- Empty the vacuum cleaner after every cleaning. Disinfect the vacuum cleaner, along with other cleaning appliances like the dishwasher and washing machine.
- Remember to check the expiration dates on your supplies. And never mix household bleach with ammonia or other cleaning solutions—doing so can release toxic gases.
