Do the dishes right after the meal. Avoid a huge pile in the kitchen sink at the end of the day. Take the trash out right after it’s filled. Do not keep it around for germs to build up and stinking up the house. Sweep the floor before going to bed. Wake up to a fresh floor in the morning.

Always remember not to miss out on these locations in a cleaning session. Move the furniture around when sweeping or washing the floor. Shifting it around can get to the dust and grime trapped under it. Dust trapped under furniture is one of the biggest reason for allergy attacks. Remember to wipe down ceiling fans as well to prevent unexpected dust showers on one fine morning.
Mind your devices

These viruses and bacteria can easily transfer from phones to new surfaces in homes and offices.
It is recommended to wipe down phone surfaces frequently with an alcohol wipe. Do the same for wristwatches, TV remotes, earphones and computer mice. Do remember to check if the materials used on these devices are corrosive to alcohol. If they are, it is better to use a non-alcohol based sanitising fluid.
