🧼 Back-to-School Cleaning Tips to Keep Viruses Out of Your Home

🎒 Why Back-to-School Season Brings More Sickness

It’s no secret — when kids head back to school, they’re exposed to dozens of classmates, shared supplies, and crowded hallways. That makes schools a perfect place for viruses, colds, and stomach bugs to spread. Once your child comes home, those germs often hitch a ride right into your living room.

That’s why it’s so important to set up a solid home cleaning routine during the first few weeks of school.

🦠 How to Cut Down on Viruses at Home

  1. Backpack & Shoe Drop Zone

    • Create a dedicated spot by the door for backpacks and shoes.

    • Wipe backpacks with a disinfecting wipe daily.

    • This simple step keeps school germs from spreading through the house.

  2. Daily Disinfecting of High-Touch Areas

    • Think doorknobs, faucets, fridge handles, light switches, and remotes.

    • Use disinfectant wipes or spray once a day — it takes just a few minutes.

  3. Keep Bedrooms & Study Areas Germ-Free

    • Wash bedding weekly during the school year.

    • Dust desks, lamps, and shelves regularly — kids often set down books and supplies straight from school.

  4. Kitchen Sanitation for Healthier Lunches

    • Disinfect counters where lunchboxes and water bottles are placed.

    • Wash lunchboxes, reusable bottles, and thermoses with hot soapy water every evening.

  5. Bathrooms: A Germ Hotspot

    • Kids come home and head straight to wash up (hopefully!).

    • Disinfect sink handles and toilet flushers often to stop cross-contamination.

🌬️ A Layer of Protection for Busy Families

Between school germs, fall allergies, and viruses, it can feel impossible to keep up. That’s why many families in Fargo-Moorhead choose a biweekly professional cleaning. It helps maintain a cleaner baseline so your daily disinfecting actually makes a bigger impact — without you having to constantly play catch-up.

🗓️ Final Thoughts

Back-to-school should be about fresh starts, not fighting germs all season long. With smart disinfecting habits and a consistent cleaning routine, you can keep your home healthier, calmer, and ready for whatever the school year brings.
