If you are serious about keeping you and your loved ones safe during this pandemic, not just when you are outside but when you are in your home, here are five tips that will keep your apartment sanitized and as a result protect you from any bacterial and viral infections.
If you are moving to a new apartment and have more things than you could display properly, consider investing in storage space. A good rule of thumb to follow would be to see if there is anything in your home that is not being used, isn't easy to clean and thus could relatively sit around gathering dust. If that is the case and you don't want it anymore you can always donate it to a flea market or to charity. If you'd rather keep it for sentimental value, purchase some storage at a local facility and move all the items that made your list into that. Even spacious apartments like the luxurious units available at Cinnamon Life look best when they are minimalistic.
A place that you are easily susceptible to germs is the kitchen as this is where you prepare your food and also eat if you live alone. Make sure that you keep your countertops and sink free of clutter so when you are cooking there less chance of your kitchen items getting greasy. Clean everything immediately after use and put it back in its place. Make this a habit so your Colombo apartments are not susceptible to dust and germs.
Another good habit you can cultivate is to make your bed every day when you wake up. Not only will it help you mentally by allowing you to make a fresh start every day, but you will also dust the bed in the process and get rid of things like hair or dead skin. This will enable you to go to bed at night to a cleaner sleeping environment. Not only will that benefit you in terms of health it will also be great for your sleep.
As mentioned above, return everything to its rightful place as soon as you have finished using it. This is why having less clutter in your home would be ideal. You will have fewer things to manage and fewer things to clean. Invest in compartments for your drawers if you must so you can divide things according to their use. Having everything in its place means there's less chance of things gathering dust or getting dirty.
Lastly, hire a professional cleaner once in a while. It is a bit of an expense but since your home is easy to manage this will be an investment. A professional cleaner can give the parts of your house that you either cannot reach or do not have the capacity to clean a thorough run-through.
