Poor housing hygiene conditions significantly increase the risk of infectious diseases in particular and human health in general. So in addition to personal hygiene measures, sanitation of the accommodation is a necessary measure.

First the house needs to be well ventilated, airy and clean. This is the most important factor to eradicate bacteria, mold and infectious pathogens. In addition, you can disinfect and sterilize the house with antiseptic solution periodically (maybe once a week, or once every 2 weeks).

In addition, in the case of homes with people suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer, cerebral vascular accidents, chronic respiratory infections, home disinfection helps to bring a fresh and healthy living environment for patients.

For individuals: hand antiseptic, antiseptic clothes if someone is infected, baby's toys.

For the whole family: disinfecting tools, household items, cleaning the floor with antiseptic solution and other necessary locations.

Hand sanitizer: can be with hand soap or a quick hand sanitizer containing alcohol. It is necessary to wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds under clean water, several times a day. In case of going to places where there are no conditions to wash your hands, use a quick hand sanitizer containing alcohol, also known as a dry hand sanitizer instead.

Disinfect items in the house, tables, chairs or places where germs are suspected: you can use a 70-degree or 90-degree medical alcohol solution to disinfect home tools or tables and chairs if they are suspected to be contaminated with the patient's secretion (or visitors to the house) due to coughing. , sneezing, blowting the nose of the sick person.

Antiseptic cleaning solution: two types of antiseptic solution that can be used to disinfect the house including chlorine B and javel water

For cloramin B powder you can buy at chemical stores. The mixing rate of this powder can be used as 1 teaspoon mixed with 1 liter of water, then used to clean the house. In the case of a home with an infectious disease, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the health worker or epidemic room staff (the phap rate can be increased to 5 teaspoons of cloramin B powder and 1 liter of water). However, the use of cloramin B powder to clean the house brings quite a lot of trouble in both storage and during use. Cloramin B must be preserved in a sealed container, avoiding sunlight from entering, if exposed to light will lose its effect. Also the smell of this dispensing solution is relatively unpleasant, causing inconvenience to family members.

Javel water disinfectant cleaning solution: you can buy Javel water solution or clothes bleaching water at grocery stores, supermarkets. Note that you need to buy clothes bleaching water, not bleach for colored clothes because the composition of these two types is different and colored bleach does not have a disinfecting effect. Javel water mixing rate for disinfection, you prepare according to the instructions in the product label. For example, you can mix according to the instructions, then soak your baby's toys, or you can wipe tables and chairs, stairs,… In case you want to mix Javel water solution for cleaning, you can mix twice as much water as instructed, for example, instead of 1 bottle cap mixed with 1 liter of water, you can mix 1 bottle cap with 2 liters of water. You can then use this solution to clean the house weekly or 2 times a week.

When cleaning, wipe with cleaning water first, after cleaning the house with the cleaning water you use javel water mixed above to wipe again and then wait for drying.
