When kids are in school, there is one thing that you can count on, and that's plenty of germs floating all around. Keeping your home germ free during the winter months is one of the biggest challenges that parents tend to face. There is however several things that you can do in order to keep your home as germ free as humanly possible.
Start with the carpet
The first thing you will want to focus on is your carpet if you have one. There have been lots of reports, and articles on how many germs can be found in your carpet. If not cleaned properly this carpet can end up making you and your family sick for the majority of the winter. The first thing you will want to do is look at your vacuum cleaner. A good quality vacuum cleaner will help to ensure that you home is kept clean and germ free. Before vacuuming I like to spread around some baking soda on the carpet. This helps to freshen up the carpet a bit. When it comes to the vacuum itself you may want to focus on the ones that actually help kill germs like the Oreck Halo UV-C vacuum cleaner. Once the carpet is clean you can move on to the next step.
