You disinfect your house frequently
People tend to “frequently disinfect their entire homes,” said Carpenter, and this is one of the most common mistakes out there. “It is much more important to frequently disinfect high contact areas that present a higher likelihood of getting you sick. Areas such as light switches, door knobs, handles, and TV remotes should take priority over areas such as your floors,” he says.
Instead, you can clean your house once a week and disinfect the objects that you usually touch every day, such as your phone, house keys, door knobs, and so on.Â
