In addition to the obvious places like floors, toilets, showers, sinks and countertops, focus on surfaces that are germ hotspots. We use home appliances every day. It is important to sanitize high-touch spots like appliance handles, cabinet pulls, control buttons, touch electronic control panels, faucet handles, sink drains, and light switches. Before cleaning your appliances, make sure to reference the use and care guide for the best cleaning practices. This is especially true when using cleaning products on control buttons and electronic control panels. In addition to home cleaning practices, there are many appliances that can help you sanitize and purify your home. Home appliances are here to make cleaning easier. Before the COVID19 pandemic, most appliance experts talked about sanitizing appliances as a necessity for allergy sufferers. However, it is evident that sanitizing appliances benefit all consumers. According to the World Health Organization, the COVID19 virus is extremely contagious and can live on surfaces for up to several days. This means it is critical for all consumers to take extra precautions to sanitize dishware and clothing.Â
