Stay Protected While Handling Contaminated Items
Experts are saying that COVID-19 is most commonly spread through droplets that are dispersed when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Stay safe while handling potentially contaminated laundry by using gloves, and then washing your hands for at least 20 seconds with warm, soapy water when you’re finished. It is also important to note that you can wash contaminated clothing with non-contaminated clothing, so there is no need to divide them into separate loads.
Have the Right Supplies
The CDC currently feels that warmth and heat are beneficial for preventing the spread of the coronavirus. When doing your laundry, use warm or hot water to get the job done. It has not been proven yet that bleach can kill the virus, however, some speculate that it can help in the cleaning process. Use bleach in your loads of whites and light colors, or snag some detergent that has color-safe bleach included. There is no specific type or brand of detergent you should use, so whatever you have on hand will work perfectly.
