Safety at Home

Some important public health tips to help keep residents and their families safe and healthy at home.

Cleaning and Disinfecting

You can combat all viruses including COVID-19 effectively while using household products that are safe for you and your family. Never ingest cleaning products and keep them away from children.

wash surfaces with regular liquid dish soap and water for 20 seconds to deactivate the virus;
read product labels and choose those with hydrogen peroxide, alcohol (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol), citric acid and lactic acid as active ingredients; avoid quaternary ammonium compounds;
use bleach, diluted (4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water) with caution and leave on for 1 min;
never mix two different products!
