Stay-at-Home Tips

Clean and comfortable go hand-in-hand.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably like many of us—getting comfortable with your new stay-at-home routine. The good news is we all get to figure it out in the most comfortable place on earth—our homes. And HOOVER® can help keep your home as clean as it is comfy.

This CDC link: How to Protect Yourself provides basic guidance to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses. And here are a few tips from HOOVER®

Vacuum often

During this unprecedented situation, with whole families restricted to their homes, the CDC is suggesting more frequent cleaning. In addition to cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in accordance with the CDC, you might consider vacuuming daily. According to the CDC, removing germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces including carpets reduces the risk of spreading infection.

Wash Entry Rugs

As our families and pets come in and out of the house, entry rugs are a first defense against dirt, germs and irritants you carry in from outside. Don’t overlook them. In addition to vacuuming entry rugs, clean them often in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Most can be cleaned with soap and water, scrubbed by hand, cleaned by a carpet or spot cleaner, or by placing them in the washing machine.

Go beyond vacuuming

We may not think about cleaning our carpets as often as other surfaces, but it does provide a deeper clean than vacuuming alone. The CDC recommends using appropriate cleaners for soft porous surfaces. Using a HOOVER® solution and a carpet cleaner with fast-drying capability will allow you to extract dirt and germs from below the surface without restricting your family and pets from rooms for hours at a time while your carpets dry.
