But not everyone thinks that the infection can be brought into the house on shoes. Well, imagine, you followed all the disinfection rules, returning home, and simply took off your shoes, left them in the corridor, and are absolutely calm. But viruses can live there! And your animals can become their carriers. And also little kids, you can't see them, they will crawl everywhere. Therefore, it is worth disinfecting your shoes too to avoid health problems.
Depending on the material, as well as many other factors, such as air temperature, humidity, etc., viruses live on various surfaces from three to seven hours. Therefore, when cleaning the house, do not forget about shoes! After all, it is generally not known what can be brought home on its sole.
I will tell you about the rules for disinfecting shoes, because it is important for everyone. Think about it, don't put yourself at risk!
How to properly disinfect shoes?
There will be very little use for disinfectants if the shoes are heavily soiled. Therefore, before proceeding with decontamination, first use a brush. Treat shoes from dried dirt, then rinse with a sponge and water. Do not forget to discard this sponge later, do not put it off until the next wash. After that, you can proceed to disinfection by treating the shoes with an antiseptic or an alcohol solution. It is allowed to use antiseptic wipes, only those that contain alcohol.
Remember to wash your hands
Probably everyone understands that after you've washed your outdoor shoes, you should definitely wash your hands thoroughly. But not everyone knows that you need to wash your hands before washing your shoes, because you can bring dirt into the inside of your shoes. So wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water, after washing your shoes again wash your hands, then disinfect sneakers, shoes, sandals, etc., and wash thoroughly again arms!
Put your shoes away
If you have pets or small children in your home, it is best to store your shoes separately. Otherwise, you yourself will not even understand where a sick person suddenly appeared in your family, because, for example, cats can spread the infection throughout the apartment. These fluffy animals love to climb in the corridors, and then lie on the sleeping place of the owners! Do not put your outdoor shoes next to your indoor shoes. Remove any extra pairs of shoes from the hallway, and leave only the shoes you wear most often.
Set aside fabric and suede shoes
Better to remove for now those shoes that are very difficult to wash and handle. Disinfection of fabric and suede shoes will be much more difficult. Stop for now on materials that can be easily washed with the product, and then treated with an alcohol solution.
Wash your shoes in the washing machine
