Read the instructions in their entirety

The CDC recommends not mixing cleaning and disinfection products with each other; It recommends following the usage, ventilation and protective equipment instructions on the label. If disinfectant is to be used, the contact time that must remain on the surface is stated on the label. Not every cleaner is suitable for every surface. So don't just look at the big text on the front; Also check the application and surface information on the back.

Prepare by dividing the house into zones

For example, first clear the kitchen counter and determine the single product to be used. When you go to the bathroom, close the open bottle of the previous product and put it away instead of carrying it with you. You can arrange the cloths or equipment in a way that everyone at home can understand what they are used for. This is not a product recipe; It is a simple work sequence that makes it easy to follow the instructions on the package you have.

Do not lose packaging information

Do not transfer the product into the beverage bottle; Prefer the original packaging in which the name and instructions are not lost. If a cleaning worker is coming, explain in advance which products you do not want used and show the current surface instructions. Do not assume that a bottle whose cap is not closed or whose label is unreadable is an ordinary detergent. Before use, ensure that children and animals at home cannot access the products.

Briefly keep in mind

  • Verify on the packaging that it is suitable for the surface to be used.
  • Do not mix more than one cleaning product.
  • Read the ventilation and equipment instructions from the beginning.
  • Make sure the bottle name and usage information remain legible.
  • Keep products out of reach of children and pets.
