• Porous, water-damaged materials and furnishings that cannot easily be cleaned (for example, in a washing machine) should be discarded.
• Hard, non-porous surfaces can be cleaned with non-abrasive household cleaning products mixed with water. Examples include liquid or powdered kitchen cleaners, or liquid dish or hand soap.
• If you are under a boil water alert or there is a problem with your tap water, then you first have to disinfect the water you are using for cleaning. Add one cup of unscented bleach to five gallons of water.
• Do not use ammonia or ammonia products with water that has been disinfected with bleach, as this can create hazardous fumes. Always be careful when using household cleaners or disinfectant products. Read and follow all label directions and warning labels before mixing any products.
• Be sure to thoroughly disinfect all surfaces that come in contact with food and children's play areas. You can disinfect with a solution of three tablespoons of bleach to one gallon of water (or, one cup to five gallons).
