How
to help your caregiver with this topic
- Supply your caregiver
with a box of disposable gloves for cleaning and
sanitizing.
- A gift of hand lotion for dry hands or a colorful smock/apron to protect
from bleach will be appreciated.
- Teach your children to clean up after themselves: picking up toys, throwing
paper towels in the trash can, etc. This will free up your caregiver for more
deep cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting.
- If you or your caregiver are concerned about using bleach, contact the
Environmental Protection Agency's Antimicrobial Hotline, phone 703-308-0127;
fax: 703-308-6467; e-mail: info_antimicrobial@epa.gov ,
for alternative solutions.
