• Focus your efforts on cleaning areas in the house where germs are more likely to spread; areas such as the kitchen and toilet.
• Use soap and hot water or a disinfectant to clean the surfaces.
• Thoroughly dry surfaces such as works tops & chopping boards after cleaning.
• Make sure cleaning aids are cleaned thoroughly or they’ll spread germs to other surfaces.
• And of course, remember to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.
