Disinfecting after you're sick
DH brought home some nasty cold that has passed around for the past 2 weeks. I finally caught it this weekend but seem to be in the middle to end of it. With my in laws coming Friday I started cleaning and disinfecting, esp as I don't want this mess to cycle back around.
Please let me know if I missed anything!
Already Completed:
- Light switches and door knobs
- Remotes, computer and phones
- Both bathrooms bottom to top
- All appliances
- Bed linens/pillows and the other mounds of laundry
- Cleaned all baseboard (they are heating vents)
- Opened windows to get fresh air in here while it's nice out
- Regular cleaning still to come (floors, dust, kitchen)

Re: Disinfecting after you're sick
As long as you make sure that everything that is a touchable surface (mainly those that you and your husband came in contact with during the course of your illness) is disinfected, you should be good. Also, get Lysol happy. Spray Lysol in the air several times a day and that will help with the airbourne germs. With 3 kids in grade school (where a child seems to have some sort of bug every week), Lysol and Clorox wipes have become my best friends. Laundry should be done in hot water. Detergent is great, but it's more effective and killing germs when the water is hot. Especially do this for your towels and linens since your in laws will be using them as well. Thankfully, doing simple things like that has kept the cold transfer rate down in my home. My husband got sick a month ago with a nasty cold and thank God, none of the kids or myself got it.
Good Luck and Get Well Soon.
9. Hands!
I bought DH enough hand sanitizer for work to last through the winter! This is the first time in years he has been sick, yet I always get sick when something passes around his office. Really annoying!
