How to Prevent Contamination at Home

A clean home is important for health, comfort, and well-being. It reduces the risk of infections, prevents cross-contamination, supports physical and mental health, creates a comfortable living space, prevents allergens, and contributes to an overall sense of cleanliness and order.

Everyone in the household, including the provider of in-home care services in Manhattan, New York, should adhere to the following guidelines to prevent the onset and transmission of illnesses and infections:

• Maintain hand and body hygiene

  Ensure hands are washed with soap and clean water or use alcohol-based sanitizers to eliminate germs, particularly after contact with potentially contaminated items like diapers and gardening tools. Seek home care services in Bronx, New York for bathroom assistance if you are at risk of falling, slipping, or fainting.

• Uphold cleanliness and sanitation

  Regularly disinfect surfaces and conduct a thorough house cleaning through dusting, sweeping, and mopping. Check for harmful molds and mildew. In addition to personal hygiene, prioritize the cleanliness of the surroundings.

• Follow proper food handling and kitchen safety

  Utilize separate utensils, plates, and chopping boards for raw and cooked food. Wash hands after handling raw food and before managing ready-to-eat items. Cook food thoroughly, especially meats and poultry. Seek assistance with sharp objects and stoves for safety.

In summary, cleanliness and sanitation through housekeeping services are components of maintaining a safe, healthy, and comfortable living environment for individuals who may require assistance with their daily needs.
