1800 CLEANER recommendations regarding the Coronavirus

Protecting your health during lockdown

In March 2020, as Australia joined global efforts to combat the Coronavirus through lockdown measures, the need to safeguard our health and homes became more urgent than ever. With extended time indoors, maintaining a clean, safe living space was crucial for supporting our well-being and immune systems. At 1800 CLEANER, we specialize in coronavirus cleaning in Sydney, offering practical, science-backed recommendations to create a healthy sanctuary. By focusing on non-toxic home cleaning and our dust-free cleaning service, we help remove harmful dust and impurities that can weaken immunity. This article explores how to clean your home effectively during the pandemic, manage stress, and adopt lifestyle habits to boost your resilience. It also provides tailored advice for Sydney’s unique environment, ensuring your home supports your health during lockdown and beyond.

Sydney residents faced unique challenges in 2020, with 45% reporting heightened stress levels, per the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, making a healthy home environment essential.

The hidden threat of indoor air quality during lockdown

During the 2020 lockdown, Sydneysiders spent up to 90% of their time indoors, according to a 2020 Australian Bureau of Statistics report. This increased exposure to indoor air, which can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, per the Environmental Protection Agency. Dust, pet dander, pollen, and mould spores accumulate in homes, especially in Sydney’s humid climate, averaging 65% humidity, per the Bureau of Meteorology. These particles, often invisible, can irritate the lungs and weaken immunity, making you more susceptible to viruses like the Coronavirus. For example, dust mites, which thrive in humid conditions, can trigger asthma, affecting 2.7 million Australians, per Asthma Australia (nofollow). Addressing indoor air quality by removing these impurities is a critical first step to creating a healthy home environment during lockdown.

Understanding the dust-drop effect and its impact

Dust in your home isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a health risk, especially during a pandemic. When you clean with traditional methods, the dust-drop effect occurs, where tiny particles are stirred up and float in the air for up to five days before resettling, as 1800 CLEANER’s research shows. This cycle reintroduces allergens into your environment, compromising your immune system. In Sydney, where 20% of residents have respiratory issues, per Asthma Australia, this can lead to symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or worsened asthma, making you more vulnerable to illness. Dust also carries pet dander and pollen, common in Sydney homes, where 65% of households have pets, per RSPCA NSW. At 1800 CLEANER, our dust-free cleaning service uses HEPA-Air vacuums and negative ionizers to remove 97% of fine dust down to 30 microns, breaking the dust-drop cycle and ensuring cleaner air.

Cleaning your home: A non-toxic approach

Cleaning during the Coronavirus lockdown requires a careful approach to avoid harming your health. Harsh disinfectants like bleach can irritate your lungs, especially for the 20% of Sydneysiders with asthma. Instead, opt for non-toxic disinfectants with simple, recognizable ingredients. At 1800 CLEANER, our non-toxic home cleaning methods use ecoLove™ products, ensuring safety for your family and pets. Focus on high-touch areas like door handles, taps, basins, and toilets, as these are hotspots for germs. Use warm water with a scourer to scrub surfaces, as dry wiping can spread dust. Wash your hands often with soap and water to maintain hygiene. By using non-toxic products, you disinfect effectively without compromising your immune system, creating a safer home environment during the 2020 lockdown.

Enhancing immune health through cleaning

A clean home directly supports your immune system by reducing exposure to allergens and impurities. Dust mites, which a single square meter of carpet can hold up to 100,000 of, per Macquarie University research, release particles that irritate the lungs and weaken immunity. During the 2020 lockdown, when Sydneysiders were indoors more, this risk was heightened. Poor air quality can also lead to fatigue and stress, as noted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (nofollow), further lowering your body’s defenses. By removing these particles, you create a healthier space that helps your immune system fight off viruses like the Coronavirus. At 1800 CLEANER, our coronavirus cleaning in Sydney removes 97% of fine dust, ensuring your home supports your health during a pandemic.

Stress management: A key to immunity during lockdown

Stress can weaken your immune system, making you more prone to illness. During the 2020 lockdown, 45% of Australians reported increased stress, per the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, as isolation and uncertainty took a toll. Managing stress is vital for maintaining immunity. Go to bed early to ensure 7-8 hours of sleep, which helps your body recover. Avoid TV or social media before bedtime, as they can heighten anxiety. Exercise daily, even if it’s a short walk in your yard, to boost endorphins. Eat nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid sugar and alcohol, which can lower immunity. Take a warm bath to relax, and connect with positive people, even virtually, to lift your spirits. These steps help reduce stress and support your health.

Lifestyle habits to boost your immune system

Beyond cleaning, your lifestyle plays a big role in immune health during a lockdown. Get sunlight exposure, even if it’s through an open window, as it helps your body produce vitamin D, which boosts immunity, per health studies. In Sydney, where sunny days are common, this is an easy step to take. Prioritize sleep, aiming for 7-8 hours nightly, to let your body repair itself. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can weaken your defenses. Eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, avoiding processed foods. Limit exposure to negative news, focusing instead on uplifting activities like reading or gardening. These habits, combined with a clean home, create a strong foundation for your immune system, helping you stay resilient against viruses like the Coronavirus.

Creating a haven: The psychological benefits of a clean home

A clean home isn’t just about physical health—it’s about mental well-being too. During the 2020 lockdown, when Sydneysiders faced isolation, a tidy, dust-free space became a sanctuary. Dust and clutter can increase stress, which 45% of Australians struggled with during this time, per the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. A clean environment reduces anxiety, helping you feel calm and in control. It also improves air quality, making it easier to breathe, especially for the 20% of Sydneysiders with asthma. By using non-toxic methods, you avoid chemical irritants, further supporting your mental health. At 1800 CLEANER, our non-toxic home cleaning creates a haven that promotes relaxation and positivity, helping you navigate the challenges of lockdown with a clearer mind.

Practical cleaning tips for Sydney homes during lockdown

Sydney’s humid climate and urban lifestyle present unique cleaning challenges, especially during a lockdown. First, vacuum weekly with a HEPA-filter vacuum to trap tiny particles, but move slowly to avoid the dust-drop effect. Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces, as dry wiping spreads dust. Focus on high-touch areas like door handles and taps, cleaning them daily with a non-toxic disinfectant. Wash bedding and curtains after a deep clean to remove settled dust. Keep windows open for fresh air when possible, as ventilation reduces indoor pollutants. In Sydney, where 65% of homes have pets, per RSPCA NSW, pet dander can worsen air quality, so groom pets regularly. Declutter your space to minimize dust traps, making cleaning easier. These tips, paired with professional cleaning from 1800 CLEANER, keep your home healthy during the 2020 lockdown.
