00:00Spending more time at home can make your space less hygienic.

00:11So where should you begin?

00:15First of all, declutter.

00:16If your deep clean is going to be effective, you have to start by getting as many of your

00:21unnecessary and larger household items out of the way first.

00:25Then work your way from top to bottom.

00:27The best thing to do is to start with the top high places, leave the floors to the last

00:33thing.

00:34Make sure you attack high touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, refrigerator

00:40and microwave doors, drawer handles.

00:43Use soap and water or disinfectants, since both are effective in protecting your home

00:48from the coronavirus.

00:50Be thorough.

00:51A spray and a vigorous wipe should do it, but don't get lazy here.

00:56Be sure to get the entire surface.

00:59Make sure you tackle one room at a time.

01:02When it comes to the actual cleaning, don't multitask.

01:06Tackle cleaning one room at a time, completing each room, then moving on to the next.

01:14Remember your bed.

01:16Beds can really collect dust.

01:17Even if covered by a protector, mattresses are prone to pick up dust particles, dust

01:23mites and debris.

01:24For better cleaning, clean both sides of your mattress with a vacuum cleaner, ideally

01:29with a fully sealed filtration system.
