Is your vacuum cleaner in need of disinfection? Using this method, you will protect other members of your family from getting sick when a sick family member touches the vacuum cleaner.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, you should disinfect or sanitize your vacuum to ensure no germs remain if someone brought some germs into your house from outside.
How to Disinfect and Sanitize a Vacuum Cleaner
Here are the things you’ll need:
- The isopropyl alcohol
- Rub your vacuum cleaner with cotton or a cloth to disinfect it
4 Steps to Follow
Let’s clean your vacuum cleaner
- Firstly, turn off the vacuum and place it on a table or a straight surface.
- Isopropyl alcohol can be rubbed onto a cotton piece.
- We hold our vacuum cleaner by its handle. Rub cotton across that handle.
- If you do this every day, you probably only need to repeat this once.
Process to Disinfect
That’s it! No harmful germs remain on the handle of your vacuum cleaner. Let’s disinfect or sanitize the remainder of the vacuum’s recommended area. However, now electrostatic disinfection services are also available.
Clean the bottom of the vacuum cleaner with rubbing alcohol by soaking a cotton pad in the liquid and rubbing it over the surface.
This will disinfect your vacuum as well as dry it immediately. Besides the inside of the bag or canister, the bottom of the vacuum cleaner travels the most and is the dirtiest part. Although this may seem excessive, the bottom should be disinfected regularly because it travels all over your house.
If you’re still not convinced, let me give you an example based on a real vacuum cleaner. (When I taught) I had a student whose family got stomach flu every week. The illness lasted over a month.
The doctors finally discovered what was wrong. It had been contaminated with sickness, and cleaning had been done, but every time they vacuumed, germs would stir up, and they kept getting sick.
