Quick Tip for Disinfecting


Whether you're spring cleaning or making an extra effort to keep the flu at bay, one of the biggest headaches for moms is trying to clean all those toys. There's a mountain of them in most homes with kids, and they're covered with germs. If you have a baby or toddler, half those toys have been in their mouths, and of course little kids are the ones most at risk for catching infectious diseases like the flu. You've bleached everything you can, set the dishwasher and laundry to the "sanitize" cycle, and steam cleaned every hard surface in the house. Now what?

Last year, thanks to a Black Widow spider who shared both her venom and the staph virus with me ($#$#@! spider!), we had to seriously disinfect our home - toys and all. I finally found a way to make sure I hadn't missed anything. It's called a Safe Space Disinfectant Room Fogger, and it kills all the bad "bugs" you want dead. After you clean, you just turn it on and it fills the room (read: all the nooks and crannies) with disinfectant. It's used in hospitals, schools, and other public spaces, and for me, at least, it provided peace of mind. For more information on the fogger, see the attached link. For detailed instructions on how to disinfect your home step-by-step, see the How To article on the right.

A few hours of spring cleaning can save you and your family days or weeks of illness, missed work or school, and medical bills. With the tools and products on the market today you can tackle this worthwhile chore in no time.
