There are some cold and flu seasons in each year, when you have to defend yourself against the virus, starting with your home, which may feel tidy once the carpets and floors are vacuumed and the counters are dusted, but millions of flu particles can linger in the air and on the surfaces we touch each and every day. Regular surface cleaning with a disinfectant labeled as "kills bacteria and viruses" will help remove particles that have landed on your floors, faucets, and countertops, but it is important to consider the air you breathe in your home as well.
