Stay Healthy This Season: Why a Clean Home is Your Best Defense Against the Never-Ending Germ Invasion

Hey y’all, it’s Dorsey here! If you have kids in school, you know exactly what I’m talking about—one week it’s the sniffles, the next it’s a full-blown stomach bug, and just when you think you’re in the clear, someone’s coughing like an old lawnmower. Between schools, daycares, workplaces, and even the grocery store, germs are getting passed around like Halloween candy. While we can’t control every place our kids (or we) set foot in, we can make sure our homes are a safe haven from all those pesky germs.

Why a Clean Home Keeps You Healthier

Let’s be real—germs love a good party. They hang out on doorknobs, remote controls, countertops, and pretty much anything we touch daily. Some of these little troublemakers, like the flu and RSV, can actually stick around on surfaces for days. That means if we’re not staying on top of cleaning, they’re just lying in wait, ready to take down the next victim. Yikes!

A good, thorough cleaning routine helps kick those germs to the curb before they make themselves too comfortable. It also helps keep dust, allergens, and other invisible nasties at bay so everyone in your home can breathe easier.

The Germ Hotspots You Need to Tackle

Not all messes are created equal. Some areas of your home are way more prone to collecting germs than others. If you’re trying to keep sickness from making itself at home, focus on these key spots:

  • The Kitchen: This is where we prep food, eat, and (if you’re like me) probably snack a little too often. Wipe down counters, tables, and appliance handles daily to keep germs from spreading.
  • Bathrooms: Oh, the things that happen in here. Give the sink, toilet, and all those light switches and faucet handles some love with a good cleaning.
  • Bedrooms: When someone’s been sick, their bed basically becomes a germ nest. Wash those sheets and pillowcases frequently and give nightstands and door handles a wipe-down.
  • Common Areas: Remotes, light switches, door handles—these little germ magnets need regular attention, especially during flu season!

Time for a Deep Clean After Illness

Alright, so someone in the house got taken down by the latest round of crud. They’re finally feeling better, but that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear just yet. Once the fever’s gone and the tissues stop piling up, it’s time to do a deep clean to kick any lingering germs out the door.

Why bother? Well, for starters, some viruses can stick around longer than we’d like to think. The last thing you want is for someone else to catch the same bug just as you’re breathing a sigh of relief. A deep clean also freshens up the house so it doesn’t smell like someone’s been sick in it for a week (because let’s be honest, it probably does). Plus, getting things back to normal just feels good.
