Disinfect food containers, disinfect, rinse with warm water, and air dry. Make sure that the bleach mixture does not get on your clothes or eyes.

What can we do to keep our homes clean and germ-free?
You have to clean the house every day. During this time you can use disinfectant solution. Also, if the house is dirty, clean it first with detergent.
Cleaning and disinfecting is not the same thing. Anything can be cleaned in 30-60 seconds but it may take longer to disinfect.
Cleaning with ordinary soap and water greatly reduces the number of germs. As a result, the risk of infection is reduced. But if you need to disinfect items, use disinfectants as well as cleaning with soap and water.
Never mix disinfectant and cleaning ingredients together. If you don't like the smell of disinfectant, open the window.
Use antibacterial sprays to sterilize toys made of soft objects such as pillows or cotton.
Before using any disinfectant such as ethanol-containing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etc., apply a small amount in one corner to see if it is harmful. After cleaning the food container with disinfectant, wash it with water.
How to keep utensils clean
The utensils we use for food such as: pots, pans - these items should be cleaned and washed with soap before and after use. We often leave sticky dishes. As a result, these bacteria can grow. So even after cleaning with soap, these dishes have to be washed again with hot water. Also, the dishes should be kept clean, dry and disinfected regularly. Photos, sticks, knives, knives, cutting boards - these things can contain germs. So after each cut, rub these things well with soap and wash.
Can vinegar be used as a disinfectant?
No. Vinegar or other cleaning products with vinegar are not enough to disinfect our household items. It is not effective against most bacteria and viruses, not even coronaviruses. However, it can kill some bacteria.
What I can do while washing clothes
Use gloves when washing sick patient's clothes and discard gloves after use. If you wash clothes after reusable gloves, disinfect the Covid-19 with a disinfectant that destroys it. Do not use these gloves for any other purpose in the house. After removing the gloves, wash your hands with soap and water.
If you do not use gloves, you must wash your hands with soap after holding dirty clothes.
Do not wash dirty clothes too much, as it may spread the virus in the air.
After washing the clothes with soap and water, let them dry in the sun.
More things to be aware of
Arrange for a separate room for the infected patient. Use the gloves when others hold the glasses and plates he will use. Use hot water to wash the patient's dishes.
Use a separate litter bin for the patient and be sure to use gloves when cleaning it. You must wash your hands with soap after removing the dirt.
