Here’s all you need to know about disinfecting your home post COVID-19 with the GK COVID-19 Recovery Kit:
DURING A COVID-19 INFECTION
Situation A: The COVID-19 patient is able to self-disinfect & clean their room
- Provide dedicated cleaning & disinfecting supplies to the patient. This includes:
- Tissues, paper towels
- A surface disinfectant / surface disinfectant wipes
- An air disinfectant for the enclosed room
- Hand sanitisers
- If the patient has shared spaces with the other household members, he/she should disinfect all surfaces & items after each use with GK Surface™. The hospital-grade disinfectant is tested to effectively kill the actual COVID-19 Virus (SARS-CoV-2) in just ONE minute. Alternatively, GK Surface™ Wipes can be used to wipedown high-touch surfaces. Each wipe is also conveniently-packed in individual packaging to ensure ultimate hygiene, thus preventing further contamination and virus spread across the other members of the household.
- GK Surface Wipes™ can also be used to disinfect utensils/shared items if necessary, especially if disposable ones are not available. The patient can disinfect utensils/items before leaving it at the door for collection.
- Increase ventilation by opening windows and using fans. As the patient is recovering in an enclosed room with a closed door, ensure that he/she is equipped with a can of GK Air™ Disinfectant Spray. The water-based air disinfectant is tested to effectively eliminate the COVID-19 virus and meets the hospital-grade standard. As an air disinfectant, it has also been tested against acute inhalation and oral toxicity in accordance with OECD Testing Guidelines of Chemicals for health effects.
- A bottle of GK Air™ should also be kept and used in shared bathrooms after each use.
- GK Air™ can also be used to disinfect air-conditioner systems. It can safely be used to kill germs and bacteria on the air-con fins and coils.
Situation B: The COVID-19 patient is unable to self-disinfect/clean their room
- Only clean and disinfect the area around the patient if needed, in order to limit contact with the patient. Wear gloves and a mask when handling shared items or in the presence of a patient. The patient should also wear a surgical mask. Open doors and windows, use fans and air-conditioning (HVAC) settings to increase air circulation.
AFTER A COVID-19 INFECTION
Wait for at least a few hours before you clean and disinfect the recovery room. Wear a mask when you enter the room and ensure adequate ventilation.
- After ensuring adequate ventilation, spray GK Air™ into the recovery room to disinfect and freshen the air in the indoor environment.
- As the virus is known to survive on surfaces of different materials for up to 3 days, potentially contaminated surfaces should be thoroughly disinfected. Use a surface disinfectant that is proven effective against the COVID-19 virus with a quick kill-time like GK Surface™. Not only does it inactivate the virus in just ONE minute, GK Surface™ is a certified hospital-grade disinfectant that eliminates up to 99.99999% germs on surfaces. Use GK Surface™ to disinfect all high-touch surfaces such as switches, door knobs, devices, remote controls and more.
- GK Surface™ can be used even on fabrics such as curtains, beddings, mattresses and carpets.
- Spray GK Surface™ on all furniture and wipe down all surfaces. It can also be used to wipe the walls.
- Instead of simply washing the clothes, bedsheet covers and other laundry products used by the patient with a regular detergent, add a capful of GK Concentrate™ in the softener drawer of the washing machine to thoroughly sanitise and disinfect the laundry load. GK Concentrate™ is a multi-purpose, highly-dilutable disinfectant that effectively kills bacteria and sickness-causing germs including the COVID-19 virus.
- All clothing, bed sheets, pillow covers and blankets should be washed with GK Concentrate™ after the recovery period.
- Use GK Concentrate™ to mop and disinfect the recovery room flooring to ensure that no lingering germs remain on the ground.
- GK Concentrate™ can also be used to soak reusable masks that might have been used during the recovery period. It is tested against skin sensitisation and skin irritation (in accordance with the Testing of Chemicals for Health Effects as per OECD guidelines).
