Easy cleaning routines for the whole family:

-Clean doorknobs regularly with disinfectant spray

-Replace your air filters regularly, or even more frequently than you normally do, especially since members of the family may be home more

-Wipe down bathroom and kitchen counters with a disinfectant spray

-Reduce counter clutter and assign cubbies for each member of the house where they can drop their personal items, have some sanitizing wipes nearby so each person can wipe off their phone/keys/etc regularly (phones can carry LOTS of germs since they're touched constantly all day long!)

-Designate a dropzone for shoes and backpack in a garage or entry area so they don't come into your home

-Open windows when it's pleasant outside to help bring in fresh air

-If someone is sick, designate them their own sleeping quarters and bathroom that no one else uses, to help keep the germs away from the rest of the home

Assign everyone in the family a cleaning chore that they can do on a daily basis so no one person feel overwhelmed with the increased cleaning during a pandemic!
