Let’s start from the beginning. You would need to wear disposable protective gloves. It could be thrown away once you finish cleaning. Gloves will not only protect against coronavirus but also will help to protect you against any harm that bleach solutions can do to your skin. Think of using popular home disinfectants for any high-touch surface at your house. High-touch surfaces are doorknobs, light switches, kitchen countertops, fridge, dining table, phones, desks, computers and other electronic devices.

If you decide to use a diluted bleach solution to clean your home for coronavirus, please read label carefully. Though widely available, bleach can cause harm when used inappropriately especially in a household with kids and pets. Also never mix bleach with any other household cleaning solutions and dilute it with water only. If surface is dirty, it needs to be cleaned before it can be disinfected. Also don’t forget about floors – they also needs to be cleaned first and then wiped with disinfecting solution. Soap and water are also great for surface cleaning.

What about leather surfaces? You may use rubbing alcohol to clean them or Clorox wipes.  Those do not contain any bleach and can be used safely to clean phones, leather and other surfaces.
