Queen of Clean's coronavirus cleaning tips
*Have a designated place to put all coats the minute people walk through the door. Don't take them into other rooms in the house. Wash them more often and if you can't, steam them.
*Mobile phones - Take case off and wash with warm soapy water. For phones themselves you are fine to use a paper towel, micro fibre cloth on front and back. Apple have also said are 70% alcohol wipes are fine to use.
*Kitchen surfaces: Disinfect first then use bleach product to lift off. Dont spray and wipe straight away - leave 2 or 3 minutes, wipe and then repeat with another product. Lynsey added: "You want to bring it away from the surface, you need to lift it off."
*Make your own hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol base, aloe vera and tea tree drops
*Change cloths, water and mopheads more frequently
*Plastic toys can be cleaned in dishwasher/bath
*Coloured cleaning system - different coloured cloths for different areas: pink for sink, blue for loo. When done, pop them into bucket and wash. Don't them them lying around on surfaces.
