Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.
Wear gloves, clean visible soil from high-touch surfaces and then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus on the label. Keep it wet for the full contact time. Soft items such as bedding are washed on the warmest setting the fabric allows.
Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.
Open windows for ventilation if you can, wear gloves, and clean and disinfect the rooms the sick person used. Pay attention to door handles, switches, bathrooms and bedding. You can get a cleanup team for larger or shared spaces.
Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
Some homeowners policies cover cleanup if a covered event makes the property unsafe, but many do not cover routine illness cleaning. Read your policy or ask your agent what applies. Call the insurer before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
