Why is cleaning important?

Cleaning is an important first step to make sure you remove most germs from surfaces in your home. Using household cleaners that contain soap or detergent will remove germs and dirt on surfaces and reduces risk of infection from surfaces in your home. Cleaning alone removes most harmful viruses or bacteria from surfaces.

What are cleaning methods?

Cleaning methods provide a structured approach to tackling cleaning tasks. They break down the process into manageable steps and routines, making it easier to keep your home clean and organised. To help gain control of your home, here are 11 cleaning methods worth trying.

How should a workplace be cleaned?

For example, if your workplace operates in shifts, workplaces should be cleaned between shifts. If equipment is shared between workers, it should be cleaned between uses, where practicable. Cleaning with detergent and water is usually sufficient for routine cleaning. Once clean, surfaces can be disinfected.

How do you clean and disinfect a house?

You should prioritise cleaning and disinfecting surfaces that many people touch. Alternatively, you may be able to do a 2-in-1 clean and disinfection by using a combined detergent and disinfectant. Cleaning means to physically remove germs (bacteria and viruses), dirt and grime from surfaces using a detergent and water solution.
