It's that time of year again! Cold season is approaching, and I'm sure you know some people who are already coming down with colds, the flu, and other seasonal illnesses. With germs spreading more rapidly, now is the perfect time to revisit your cleaning routine to keep your home and workspaces as germ-free as possible.
One key step in preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria is properly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. This process involves a two-step approach: disinfecting to kill germs and following up with a multi-surface cleaner to remove dirt and grime.
Let's dive into why:
Why Disinfecting comes first
Disinfecting surfaces helps eliminating viruses, bacteria, and other harmful pathogens that can linger on high-touch areas. It's important to use a Health Canada-approved disinfectant that's effective against common cold and flu viruses. When using a disinfectant, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions, paying attention to how long the product needs to sit on a surface to fully kill the germs (also known as the "dwell time").
Follow up with a multi-surface cleaner
After disinfecting, following up with a multi-surface cleaner is crucial. Disinfectants are great for killing germs, but they don't necessarily clean away dirt, grease, or other residue that build up on surfaces. Multi-surface cleaners help ensure that your countertops, tables, and other high-touch areas clean.

Key surfaces you should be cleaning regularly
Throughout all times of the year (but cold season especially), certain surfaces in your home are hotspots for germs. These are the high-touch areas we recommend cleaning most frequently:
Doorknobs and Light Switches
These are some of the most frequently touched surfaces in any home or office, making them prime spots for germ buildup.
Phones and Tablets
Our phoens go everywhere with us and touch everything, making them one of teh dirtiest items we own
Countertops and Tables
Whether it's in the kitchen, dining room, or office, these surfaces see a lot of traffic and can easily collect germs
Remote controls and game controllers
Often overlooked, these items are touched daily and should be cleaned regularly to avoid germ transmission.
