If you don’t go out, except to your yard, and you don’t see anyone, and if when you do go out you sanitize door knobs, car doors, counters where you put bags, etc., and you wash your hands to the bone, is it really necessary to keep sanitizing surfaces in your house?
It can’t hurt. I’m doing it.
Bleach is my best friend.
I’m sanitizing everything after one of us goes out. But that’s like once a week. Between, I’m doing only a little more than normal. Hopefully, I kept it from coming in in the first place. But I don’t really know anything. I’m sure the safe thing to do would be to keep sanitizing non-stop. If I had someone in my household I was more concerned about, I might do it more, but it’s just me and my husband.
I keep a container of Clorox wipes by the door, and we take one out and use it to open the door when we get home, then we wipe the inside and outside knob (in that order) with it.
The dog has little booties she wears to go out now, which she hates, but she got a bath, and after that, was not allowed to got out of the apartment without the booties.
We takes our shoes off right by the door. No one is allowed to run outside without shoes on.
We don’t put bags on the counters, we put them on the floor, on a “puppy pad” which we keep for putting under the litter box. We throw it out every night, and put out a new one in the morning. Boxes that are delivered go there too.
We go through self-checkout, so no one has touch our plastic bags but us, and we wrap them up, and keep them in a garbage bag, so we can grab one before we take the dog out. This it gets thrown away outside, and hands get washed as they normally would.
Every time we come in from outside, we wash hands.
We wipe down everything we buy from the stores, or that is delivered.
We do normal cleaning, but not that much sanitizing of the whole house. The basic idea it just to keep anything from coming in in the first place.
I have a feeling, though, that with us both having to work, and not being able to telecommute, we’re going to get hit eventually.
