Here is another source of potential contamination!
Indeed, door handles, stair railings and switches are all objects that we touch several times a day.
To be sure there is no risk, clean them at least once a day.
And also every time you come home after shopping.

And don't forget the door handles of the cupboards, fridge and freezer where you store your food!
The coronavirus can also survive on inert surfaces, such as plastic bottles, for 3 days according to British studies.
And since these are surfaces that we touch regularly... that's an excellent reason to disinfect them very regularly.
Also think of the chairs that we touch so regularly.
How? 'Or' What ? Our good old white vinegar does the job very well to eliminate contaminants!

The bags you put on the floor, the shoes... so many objects that can contaminate your interior!

Whenever you have been in contact with other people outdoors, whether you have sat on public transport or on a public bench, it is best to wash your clothes.
Bed sheets, towels and tea towels should also be washed regularly, as the virus can settle on them.
The method to use is simple:machine wash for at least 30 min at 60°C, according to the High Council for Public Health.
And don't worry, a good homemade laundry detergent recipe, like this one, is just as effective in removing all traces of the virus.
The coronavirus can also thrive in the bathroom and on the toilet.
This has been demonstrated by a study carried out in infected people.
It is therefore important to clean sinks and toilet bowls regularly.
