FAQs

How do I disinfect surfaces during the coronavirus disease pandemic?

Most household and office-grade cleaning products are capable of destroying germs and reducing the risk of virus from your home — but if you’re not a professional cleaner, it’s easy to overlook some of the most common spots that could be harbouring or spreading the virus. Where you clean is just as important as how you clean when it comes to minimising the risk of infection. 

In these situations, it can be preferable to call in a team of experts to ensure your home is properly disinfected. Jim’s Cleaning offers cleaning and disinfection services, carrying out a thorough deep clean and enabling you to have peace of mind around the quality of disinfection that’s been carried out. 

Which recommendations should I follow when cleaning or disinfecting for the coronavirus disease?

When you’re looking to clean or disinfect your home, make sure you’re paying close attention to any government best-practice guidelines that have been issued around the best methods to clean. Regularly disinfecting high-contact surfaces such as door handles, light switches, taps and benches; these are all prime areas for germs to congregate and then spread around the home and to its occupants. 

Using high-quality soap for cleaning is also critical; it’s one of the most effective products in breaking down bacteria and viruses. Soap is able to break down the outer fatty layer of virus cells, which makes it much more difficult for viruses to survive for an extended period. Additionally, soap also makes it easier to rinse viruses away.  

Alternatively, you could also call in a team of professionals; at Jim’s Cleaning, we utilise hospital-grade disinfectants to ensure that you and your family have an extra layer of protection and work within best-practice guidelines to ensure that the risk of disease transmission is minimal. 

What places are important for disinfection during the COVID-19 pandemic?

One of the most common causes of any disease transmission is high-contact areas around the home. These can include door handles, light switches, toilet seats, remote controls, oven handles, taps, fridge doors — even your mobile phone can present an issue. All of these items should be regularly cleaned and disinfected to minimise risk. 

Any part of the home where you have high foot traffic should also be regularly cleaned — the living room, kitchen or bathroom in particular — with surfaces wiped down to ensure that germs can’t be easily spread. 

Additionally, a homemade sanitising solution isn’t necessarily effective at killing all the relevant germs; make sure you’re investing in proper household-grade products before you clean.  

What if I’m moving out of my home? 

Moving house is stressful at the best of times, but arguably never more so than during a global pandemic. But opting to have a professional carry out a clean and disinfect on your home before handing the keys over can be a great way to reduce stress and enable you to be able to focus on the bigger picture. A clean and disinfect can also provide a level of protection if you’re looking to avoid issues with the estate agent or owner, as well as making it easier to get your bond back in the process. 

At Jim’s Cleaning, we can provide both vacate cleaning and end of lease cleaning for your home. This will help leave the house clean and tidy for the next occupant, as well as eliminating any unwanted germs.
