My kids were off school sick loads last year – I’ve made a simple change to my cleaning routine & it’s game changing
WITH lots of running around and playtime, kids tend to spread germs more easily.
Younger children may tend to put their hands in their mouths which can cause illness.
Or many little ones may cough and sneeze without covering their mouths which means sickness can occur often in your household.
But one mum has discovered just the trick to keeping the germs and sickness at bay.
Azure MacCannell took to TikTok to share her hack and it has since gone viral.
She claimed that all she needed to do was switch up her cleaning routine.
Azure says: “Last year, my kids missed 32 days of school from being sick.
“I changed my cleaning routine.
“So far this year, they have missed none.
“Once a week, I steam all high touch areas.
“It disinfects without chemicals.
“The tank holds enough water to clean for an hour.
“Just toss in the washer when done.”
She says she makes sure she uses a steamer once a week.
Azure captioned the video: “Deep cleaning, disinfecting with steam once a week + handwashing + rest + eating healthy has kept us from getting sick!”
One wrote: “I have this steam cleaner and it’s WORTH it!!”
The video attracted over 233k likes, with hundreds rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
Azure replied: “So many uses! So many cool attachments.”
Another added: “I love steam cleaning! I worked at a school for years + daycares. One of the best things to do if possible is once home and immediately change clothes.”
A third suggested: “Wash their backpacks and their sheets, blankets, pillows cases weekly. That’s a lot of sick days, poor babies.”
Azure replied: “I even toss their lunchboxes in the washer once a week. Water bottles nightly.”
