Disinfection, disinfection and disinfection again – you can hear it now from every iron. Frightened women wash the whole apartment anyway, and if someone from the household, God forbid, sneezed, a persistent smell of bleach reigns in the apartment. The most panicky employee of Wday.ru told how her life is arranged these days.
I’m really, really scared. I myself am at risk for bronchial asthma. And my son and I try to practically not leave the house. More precisely, it doesn’t come out at all, and I have to walk the dog and sometimes go grocery shopping, because the delivery service is nowhere to be found.
For several days I studied all the recommendations for cleaning the apartment in order to protect myself at least at home. And this is the regime we are living in now.
– In the corridor on the bedside table I have a pack of alcohol wipes… If I leave the house, when I return, I wipe everything I could touch with them until I washed my hands. For example, a doorknob on both sides.
– It stands here basket… Everyone who enters an apartment puts a phone and keys in it. Then he wipes his hands with an antiseptic, changes clothes, washes his hands normally – soaping for at least 20 seconds. And then he treats the key ring and smartphone with an alcohol napkin. Only then can the phone be used at home.
— Shoe soles wash every time I return home with disinfectant. So are the paws of a dog. Gloves I immediately throw it into the wash.
– I was looking in stores chlorine floor cleaning products… There is nothing anywhere. As a result, in one shop within walking distance I saw the last two bottles of Belizna. I grabbed it, threw it in water, washed the whole apartment.
— Wet cleaning I do it twice a day. I read the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor: first you need to clean the living rooms, then the kitchen, then the bathroom. And wash the toilet last. I follow them. I use disposable gloves for each room, then throw them away immediately.
– For cleaning I use only disposable rags and napkins… Unfortunately, it’s too expensive, so I went through the children’s closet and use old clothes under the rags.
– My dishes are in the dishwasher. I put maximum possible temperature… Previously, I rarely ran it, more often I washed it with my hands. Now there is no time to save energy. What cannot be washed in a machine, I additionally rinse it with boiling water.
— Kitchen worktops mine exclusively with “chemistry”. The smell in the apartment is awful. But on the other hand, I know for sure that the countertops are clean.
– Packaging of groceries from the store all I treat with an antiseptic… After that, I additionally disinfect or wash my hands. I disassemble the products only with gloves, I throw them away after use.
– We drink water exclusively from bottles. I wash fruits and vegetables with hot water and soap, only then put them in the refrigerator or in a vase. I don’t buy cooking any more – you never know who could sneeze on it, passing by. I buy only packaged meat, it is better – in a vacuum package.
– I regret that it is impossible to boil clothes… I wash, of course, according to one or another fabric instruction, but then I iron everything from two sides: front and back. Underwear including.
– Constantly ventilate an apartment.
– Every time after someone has washed their hands, pouring boiling water over the sink.
– At the end of the day, when everyone went to bed, one more time I wipe the surfaces with disinfectants… Especially door handles, taps, TV remotes and so on.
To be honest, I don’t have time for anything else. Now I have a feeling that all I do is put things in order. But at the same time, it seems to me that the apartment is still full of dirt and an infection around me. If it were possible, I probably would have sealed the ventilation holes so that the virus does not enter the apartment through them. I know this is panic and paranoia. But I don’t know how to protect the family in another way. Doing everything I can.
