During flu season, clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces at least once a day:
High-Touch Surfaces: Doorknobs, light switches, phones, keyboards, remote controls, faucet handles, and countertops.
When Someone Is Sick: Increase cleaning to multiple times a day (especially shared bathrooms and bedrooms) to prevent the virus from spreading to others.
Routine Cleaning: Soap and water remove germs, while an EPA-registered disinfectant or alcohol-based wipe (at least 70% alcohol) kills remaining viral particles.
