Understanding Influenza

Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and are categorized into three types: A, B, and C. Type A viruses are further classified based on their surface proteins, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). These proteins can undergo changes, leading to the emergence of new strains and seasonal variations of the flu.

Symptoms of Influenza

Influenza typically manifests with a sudden onset of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and headache. Respiratory symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose are also common. In severe cases, influenza can lead to pneumonia, exacerbation of pre-existing medical conditions, and even death, especially in vulnerable populations like the elderly, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Complications

Complications associated with influenza can range from mild to severe. Common complications include secondary bacterial infections like pneumonia, sinusitis, and ear infections. In severe cases, influenza can lead to respiratory failure, multi-organ failure, and death. Vaccination is a key preventive measure to reduce the risk of complications and severe illness.

Transmission of Influenza

Influenza is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. The virus can also spread by touching a surface or object with the virus on it and then touching the face, particularly the eyes, nose, or mouth. People infected with the flu are most contagious in the first 3-4 days after the onset of symptoms.

The Challenge of Eliminating Influenza

Eliminating influenza entirely is challenging due to the virus’s ability to mutate and evolve rapidly. The constant emergence of new strains makes it difficult for vaccines to provide complete protection. Hence, additional preventive measures, such as practicing good hand hygiene, using face masks, and maintaining a clean environment, are crucial in controlling the spread of the virus.

SteriGENE: A Powerful Disinfectant Against Influenza

SteriGENE is a cutting-edge disinfectant designed to combat a wide range of pathogens, including influenza viruses. Its advanced formula is scientifically formulated to target and eliminate viruses on surfaces, providing an added layer of protection in various settings. SteriGENE’s rapid-action formula ensures a quick and thorough disinfection process, making it an invaluable tool in the fight against the spread of influenza.

Key Features of SteriGENE

1. Broad Spectrum Protection: SteriGENE offers comprehensive protection by effectively targeting various pathogens, including influenza viruses.
2. Fast-Acting Formula: The active ingredients in SteriGENE work swiftly to eliminate viruses on surfaces, reducing the risk of transmission in homes, workplaces, and public spaces.
3. User-Friendly Application: SteriGENE is easy to use, allowing for convenient application on a variety of surfaces, including countertops, doorknobs, and electronic devices.
4. Long-Lasting Effect: SteriGENE provides a lasting barrier against pathogens, offering extended protection in between applications.
5. Kind to the Environment: Biodegradability testing on SteriGENE products proves that it completely degrades in the environment after 28 days. This puts it in the company of fruits and vegetables. SteriGENE is not only tough on germs while being kind to surfaces but also completely biodegradable, hence friendly to the environment.

Influenza remains a significant global health concern, and understanding its nature, symptoms, and preventive measures is crucial for public health. While the complete elimination of influenza may be challenging, taking proactive steps such as vaccination and employing powerful disinfectants like SteriGENE can contribute to reducing the spread of the virus and protecting communities worldwide. Stay informed, practice good hygiene, and use reliable disinfectants to create a safer environment for yourself and those around you.

Understanding Norovirus

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes gastroenteritis, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. It can spread rapidly through contaminated surfaces, food, and person-to-person contact. Proper disinfection is essential to break the chain of transmission and ensure a safe living environment.

Choosing SteriGENE Disinfectant

SteriGENE is a trusted disinfectant that has been proven effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including Norovirus. Before using any disinfectant, it’s crucial to read and follow the product instructions carefully. Ensure that SteriGENE is suitable for the surfaces you intend to disinfect and that you have the necessary protective gear, such as gloves and masks, as recommended by the product guidelines.

Tips for Disinfecting Your House After Norovirus with SteriGENE:

1. Isolation and Ventilation

   • Norovirus can linger in the air for some time after an infection.
   • Begin by isolating the affected areas to prevent further contamination.
   • Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate.
   • AirSTEL is an airborne disinfectant, designed for rapid decontamination of the air, as well as hard-to-reach surfaces and crevasses around your home.

2. Disinfect hard and soft surfaces

   • Norovirus can live on hard and soft surfaces for weeks, and can continue to infect your family if left untreated. SteriGENE is the best disinfectant for killing and eliminating Norovirus in your home.
   • Spray SteriGENE on hard surfaces, allow to dwell for 30 seconds, then wipe away with a clean cloth. SteriGENE is a cleaner and disinfectant in one, so there is no need to pre-clean a surface before applying SteriGENE. Pay special attention to high-touch areas such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and bathroom fixtures.
   • Clear, unscented SteriGENE can also be sprayed on soft surfaces such as sofas, curtains, blinds, and any other soft furnishings that are not appropriate for the washing machine. Spray SteriGENE over soft furnishings and allow to air dry.

3. Don’t forget the laundry

   • Norovirus spreads faecally and can survive in water. This means it can easily get into your laundry and even survive a laundry cycle.
   • Add SteriGENE Laundry Liquid to your washing machine, along with your usual detergent, to ensure a thorough disinfection of clothing, bedding, towels, and anything else used by an unwell person, or people, in your home.

4. Maintain Personal Hygiene

   • Thoroughly wash your hands with 4KLEEN Handscrub and water. SteriGEL hand sanitiser can also be used to maintain hand hygiene and keep Norovirus at bay, in between more thorough hand washes.

Disinfecting your home after a Norovirus outbreak is a crucial step in safeguarding the health of your household. SteriGENE, with its proven effectiveness against Norovirus, provides the most reliable solution for thorough disinfection. By following these tips and adhering to the product instructions, you can create a clean and safe environment for your family.

Understanding Norovirus

Norovirus is a group of viruses that cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines, leading to gastroenteritis. It is a prevalent cause of foodborne illnesses, with symptoms ranging from nausea and vomiting to diarrhea and stomach cramps. The virus can affect people of all ages and is notorious for causing outbreaks in various settings, including schools, cruise ships, restaurants, and healthcare facilities.

Symptoms and Complications

The symptoms of Norovirus typically manifest within 12 to 48 hours after exposure and can last for 1 to 3 days. Common signs include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. While Norovirus infections are usually self-limiting, complications can arise, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Dehydration is a significant concern due to fluid loss from vomiting and diarrhea.

Transmission Methods

Norovirus is highly contagious and spreads through various routes. The most common modes of transmission include:

1. Person-to-person contact: Direct contact with an infected person or touching surfaces contaminated with the virus.
2. Contaminated food and water: Consuming food or water contaminated with Norovirus, often through the mishandling of food during preparation or inadequate sanitation.
3. Airborne particles: Norovirus particles can become airborne when vomiting occurs, leading to inhalation and subsequent infection.

Challenges in Eliminating Norovirus

Killing Norovirus poses significant challenges due to its resilience and ability to survive in various environments. The virus is resistant to many common disinfectants, making it challenging to eliminate from surfaces and prevent further transmission.

Declutter

Before you start cleaning, declutter your space. Go through your belongings and decide what you can donate, recycle, sell or throw away. This will make the cleaning process more efficient and give you a cleaner canvas to work with.

Gather Supplies

Collect all your cleaning supplies, including SteriGENE hospital-grade disinfectant and 4KLEEN cleaning products. Make sure you have microfiber cloths, sponges, scrub brushes, a mop, a bucket, and any other tools you might need.

Dusting

Start from the top and work your way down. Dust ceiling corners, light fixtures, and ceiling fans. Dust surfaces, shelves, and electronics using microfiber cloths that trap dust effectively.

Cleaning Surfaces

For general cleaning, spray SteriGENE to clean surfaces such as countertops, tables, desks and doors. Pay attention to high-touch areas like doorknobs, switches, and remote controls.

Windows and Mirrors

Use 4KLEEN Glass Cleaner to clean windows and mirrors. Make them sparkle by spraying the surface then wipe it down using a lint-free cloth or paper towel.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, focus on appliances, cabinets, and the stove. SteriGENE can be useful for deep disinfection of kitchen surfaces. Clean inside the microwave, oven, and fridge. Don’t forget to safely pull appliances out to thoroughly clean under and behind them.

Bathroom

Clean and disinfect the bathroom using SteriGENE hospital-grade disinfectant. Scrub the toilet, sink, shower, and bathtub. Replace shower curtains and clean or replace showerhead filters if necessary. Soak kids’ bath toys in SteriGENE before wiping clean, to remove and prevent mould and bacteria build-up.

Floors

Sweep or vacuum the floors first to remove dust and debris. Then mop hard floors using 4KLEEN Multi-Purpose Disinfectant. Top tip for mopping your floors: Start from the farthest corner and work your way towards the exit so you’re not walking on your wet and freshly mopped floors to exit the room.

Carpets and Upholstery

If you have carpets or upholstery, vacuum them thoroughly. Lightly spray carpets and upholstery with SteriGENE (Only unfragranced/Clear SteriGENE is recommended for this) to freshen and remove any pathogens that may be lurking.

Outdoor Areas

If you have outdoor spaces, clean the patio, porch, or balcony. Sweep away debris and consider using a 4KLEEN Biodegreaser and Cleaner to clean outdoor furniture made of wood, wicker, plastic or metal.

4KLEEN Biodegreaser and Cleaner can also be used to give the exterior of your house a good clean, as well as removing grease from your BBQ, in preparation for your summer BBQ.

Don’t Forget Air Quality

Consider using air purifiers and opening windows to improve indoor air quality during and after cleaning.

Finishing Touches

Place fresh flowers and update décor, to give your space a fresh feel and pleasant fragrance.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using cleaning products. It’s a good idea to test any new products in a small, inconspicuous area before applying them to larger surfaces. Happy spring cleaning!

7 tips for cleaning your solar panels

1. 1. Clean your solar panels every 6 to 12 months in order to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of your panels. Depending on where you live, cleaning may be required more or less frequently.

   

   2. Safety first – shut down your system completely, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    

   3. In the early morning, late afternoon, or overcast days are the best times to get out and clean your solar panels. If the sun is out shining brightly, water can evaporate quickly, which may leave streaks.

    

   4. Using tap or hose water will leave streaks that can make solar panels worse. Demineralised water, which has the minerals and particles removed from the water, prevents streaking.

    

   5. Avoid using any detergents or soapy products on your solar panels. They can leave a residue that can attract more dirt in the future.

    

   6. Use a soft brush or non-abrasive sponge to clean down your solar panels. Your solar panels can be affected by any scratches left in the glass by abrasive cleaners.

    

   7. Likewise, using pressure washers or water blasters risks damaging solar panels.

Every so often, solar panels require a little bit of maintenance to ensure your solar power system is generating as much electricity as possible. Just a small amount of build-up of dust, dirt, and debris can result in a loss in power production. Take care of your solar panels, and they’ll take care of you for decades!

So, here are a few tips and tricks to help you keep a clean AND tidy house with kids.

1. Give everything a home and make it known

We use less brain power to put things away when we know where they belong, rather than trying to guess where something goes.

It is also easier to find something when you need it, when it is put away in its home. How many times do you find yourself rummaging through the kitchen cupboards looking for that darn grater because someone has a different idea of where it should live than you?! Give it a home, make sure everyone understands this is where the grater lives, to avoid this time-consuming, avoidable frustration in the future.

2. Create simple habits

Such as making your bed when you get up in the morning. Putting dirty laundry straight in the laundry hamper, rather than on the floor or on that corner chair. Putting wet towels away. Small habits like this, make your space feel clearer and often have a flow-on effect. If your space is already tidy and clear of debris such as pillows, dirty clothes and wet towels, it makes it easier to want to do other cleaning tasks such as vacuuming and cleaning surfaces, as there are fewer physical, and therefore mental, hurdles.

3. Declutter

Remember that cupboard that is overflowing with things you no longer use? Yeah, that one, the one you’re too scared to open in case something falls out? Open it. Go through it and donate the items that you’re no longer using. The pre-loved belongings you’ve been stashing away can be donated to someone who will greatly appreciate them. They’ll go to someone’s home and be re-loved, for another family to enjoy, and your home will feel more organised, less full.

4. Get the kids involved

Communicate with your kids why it’s important to tidy, and to put their toys away. Explain and model for them how to put toys away, and where they go. Turn it into a game – use a timer to set a limit, how much tidying can they get done within the set time? How many rooms can they get through? Put some fun music on to have a dance party while you tidy.

Family Hygiene

Good family hygiene means avoiding illness and spending less on healthcare. It can also help you and your family maintain self-confidence, knowing you’re living in a clean environment. Here are a few tips for keeping the family home clean and hygienic:

1. Refresh your bed between sheet changes

When changing the sheets on your bed, spritz your bare mattress with a good-quality disinfectant, and air out for the day. Vacuum your bare mattress regularly is also recommended. These actions will uplift any dead skin cells, or hair that may be lingering on your mattresses, but also prevent and mitigate bacteria, viruses and bedbugs from harming your family.

2. Regularly disinfect kitchen towels

Kitchen dish towels and cloths can also be homes to nasties, even if they’re only used for drying dishes! Wash your kitchen towels and cloths frequently in your washing machine, with SteriGENE Laundry Liquid for thorough cleaning and disinfection. You could through your kitchen towels and cloths in the laundry along with your bed sheets, to hygienically clean and freshen both, and save on water consumption.

3. Create simple habits

As simple as washing your hands before preparing and eating a meal. Sanitizing your hands before a meal while you’re out and about. Cleaning the mirror after brushing your teeth to remove and prevent those annoying toothpaste splatters. Frequently clean high-traffic areas such as door knobs and bench tops.

4. Empty your rubbish bins often

Disinfecting the bin while it’s empty will help to prevent any nasties from spreading through your home. Don’t forget to thoroughly clean your hands after handling the rubbish and bins.

To help you adopt these tips into your cleaning and tidying routine, we’ve taken the guesswork out of choosing the best products for keeping your family safer, by compiling our Home Protection Kit and Home Protection Kit Plus.

We know these tips will help you feel fresher in your home, and confident you’re doing everything you can to ensure your home is clean, tidy and hygienic for your family.
