The weather turns cold and infectious diseases are high. Everyone has old people and children. Disinfection is always good for the health of the family, whether it is after the illness or before it happens. However, Gao Gong, an expert from the Municipal Health Management Association, suggested that some mistakes in disinfection should be avoided in daily life.
Pay attention to fire prevention during alcohol disinfection
In daily disinfection, 75% alcohol is one of the most widely used and convenient disinfectants. After detoxifying a room with alcohol, you can close the door for a while. However, it should be noted that alcohol is very easy to burn, and even the slightest spark or static electricity on the body may ignite alcohol. Therefore, do not spray when disinfecting with alcohol, it is better to use a wiping method for disinfection, and keep away from fire sources when using. When disinfecting electrical appliances, power off or unplug the plug, and continue to use after the alcohol volatilizes.
Protection shall be provided during disinfection
Common household disinfectants, such as alcohol and 84 disinfectant, will more or less cause certain irritation to the human respiratory tract. The higher the concentration, the greater the irritation. If they direct contact with the skin, they may cause skin dryness, cracking, tingling, itching, and other adverse reactions. Therefore, it is better to wear personal protective equipment such as masks and disposable gloves during home disinfection to avoid discomfort or injury caused by disinfectants.
The concentration of disinfectant should be selected correctly
Alcohol disinfectants for home use are generally adjusted to 75% concentration in advance and can be used after purchase. The 84 disinfectant can not be used as the original solution, so the user's manual must be read carefully and diluted, and disinfected according to the standard. The higher the concentration of disinfectant, the better. High concentrations of disinfectant usually have more corrosive, irritating, and other side effects. Whether it is alcohol or 84 disinfectant, if it is not disinfected according to the standard concentration, it may not have the effect of disinfection and sterilization, but may cause harm to the human body due to the high concentration.
Disinfection of fresh food, vegetables, and fruits
In general, the plastic outer packaging of fresh food, vegetables, and fruits can be disinfected. Fresh food, vegetables, and fruits only need to be cleaned. It is not recommended to use any chemical disinfectant for disinfection, so as not to affect food safety and taste. Most viruses are afraid of heat and cold. If you are not sure about the fresh vegetables you buy, you can wash them as soon as possible and then fry them to make them into vegetables. The same is true for express delivery. For paper boxes, foam, and other external packages, alcohol can be sprayed for disinfection, while internal goods, especially clothes and shoes, should not be disinfected in this way, because disinfectant or disinfectant may corrode them. When disinfecting express packages, remember to wear disposable gloves.
Attach importance to disinfection but neglect cleaning
Under normal circumstances, the so-called home disinfection still focuses on cleaning, supplemented by disinfection, because no matter what ordinary families do, they cannot achieve the effect of final disinfection by professionals. Instead of having a big family disinfection and sterilization, it is better to pay attention to household hygiene every day, insist on cleaning, and keep the room ventilated. If there are patients at home, in addition to paying attention to isolation in separate rooms and wearing masks for protection, the most common places that patients touch can be wiped with alcohol, such as toilet seat, toilet flush button, table, computer table, chair, washstand, etc. There is no need to disinfect other places every day. Excessive disinfection will have a bad effect on the body.
