With Covid, flu, colds, and other winter illnesses going around, now is the perfect time to get your home spotless and germ-free to avoid feeling poorly over Christmas.

In this article, we are going to be sharing how to correctly sanitise your home to help avoid becoming ill over the winter break. To discover more, carry on reading…

1. Eliminating condensation

Staying on top of condensation is major as this is one of the most frequent issues during the wintertime. Condensation can lead to dampness and mould spores in your home. To avoid it from happening, open the window for a short period of time each day to allow fresh air to flow through your home. We also recommend a Spunj cloth or something similar that is super absorbent and will get rid of water droplets.

2. Clean out the radiators

Radiators are important to clear out as they are the main source that will provide heat in your home. Dust and bacteria can build up inside the radiator so it’s very important to clean them out to avoid spreading the dirt around your home. Did you know that dust build-up can decrease the heating power of a radiator by 30%?

3. Maintain the fireplace

The fireplace is another big source of heat and another that will need to be maintained to avoid illnesses. While this may not cause a virus, it can result in respiratory illnesses like chest infections if the fireplace isn’t looked after. You can give them a good clean by replacing old logs or coals and making sure there’s no soot build-up.

4. Prepare a Christmas cleaning caddy

Our last tip is to get together an at-home Christmas cleaning caddy. This should include everything you need to deep clean your home. From cleaning wipes to window cleaners there are so many different products you can now buy to keep your home sparkling clean and smelling festive. Brands such as Cif, Zoflora, Fabulosa, and Glade offer a selection of different winter scents which are perfect for getting your home ready for Christmas.
