Pay special attention to a routine clean

Vacuuming the floors, this is an important factor in a cleaning routine, as paying attention to the corners, skirting boards, and upholstery.

Not every cleaning product can kill viruses and bacteria. You can either choose chemicals that state they kill more than 99% of germs or you can consider making your own disinfecting solutions such as:
Bleach disinfectant
Alcohol Disinfectant
Hydrogen Peroxide
Disposable Materials
Secure Cleaning Solutions uses disposable materials as Covid-19 is highly resilient, it can remain on products like rags, mops, sponges ETC. Secure Cleaning Solutions uses paper towels, and other disposable materials to wipe down and clean surfaces to remove bacteria and germs from surfaces.
Secure Cleaning Solutions recommends that if you want to use reusable cloths and rags you don’t use them on different surfaces and limit it to all one surface. Cleaning the cleaning cloths and rags once you are done cleaning but use a solution or hot water to clean them to remove all bacteria and germs.
Attention the waste
Secure Cleaning Solutions recommends that by paying special attention to the waste that you threw away, you should put the cleaning items (if disposable) in plastic bags, tie them up well, and then put it into another plastic bag to reduce the risk of spreading the germs and bacteria.
Personal Protective Equipment
