Seven Steps to Decrease the Spread of COVID-19 in Your Home or Business Virlogix
Right now it is difficult to carefully examine the news about the coronavirus. We are all looking for steps to protect ourselves, our families and employees as we begin to plan for a gradual return to normalcy. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation, particularly about compliance assistance . But there is also misinformation regarding disinfectant products, which has resulted in a marked increase in calls to poison centers since early March 2020. Many cleaning products contain toxic chemicals, so choosing the right products is important to reduce your and your family or employees' exposure to toxic chemicals.
To stay safe while disinfecting your home or business, follow these steps: 1. Clean frequently touched surfaces Before disinfecting a surface, use an all-purpose cleaner with safe ingredients to remove dirt and dust. Sanitizers do not work effectively on dirty surfaces. 2. Decide if you really need to disinfect After cleaning, determine what needs to be disinfected. Disinfectants — when used as directed — destroy all infectious germs on a surface, but do not affect dirt or dust. Do you touch the surface often? If not, you don't have to do more than clean it. Soap and water can kill 99% of bacteria.
Multipurpose Cleaners For use at home, look for Cradle to Cradle or Safer Choice labels . For use in your business, look for those labels and also Green Seal or Ecologist . Disinfectants Start with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) list of certified products that prevent the spread of COVID-19. Next, look for disinfectants labeled Design for the Environment (DfE) or products with safe active ingredients like ethanol, isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide, L-lactic acid, and citric acid.
4. Use products as directed Never apply cleaning products to yourself or others. Do not eat them or add them to other food products. Never mix products unless specified in the directions for use. Some combinations of chemicals can create highly toxic acids or gases. Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer on the label. 5. Wait the recommended contact time to disinfect Contact time (or withdrawal time) is the length of time the product must be on the surface in liquid form to be effective against the virus. There is a tendency to try to grab a rag or sponge to clean the surface with the disinfectant. Instead, leave the sanitizer on the surface you are sanitizing. Allow to dry for the amount of time indicated on the label. Otherwise, resistant germs can stay and grow.
6. Wash your hands after sanitizing After using cleaning or disinfecting products, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds. This reduces your exposure to both the chemicals in cleaning products and the virus that you are removing from surfaces in your home or business. 7. Stay informed and share with others Do you need more information or guidance to share with others? Here are some reliable resources:
Information on COVID-19 from the Washington State Department of Health. Resources on Safe Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfection Strategies from the University of Washington Department of Environmental and Occupational Health. EPA's list of disinfectants certified for use against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Resources for businesses and employers or interim guidance for employers in responding to COVID-19 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even when you use Virlogix hand sanitizers - one of the best hand sanitizer brands in the USA - you still need to ensure taking a trip to the sink to maintain utmost hygiene levels.
