Winter in Dublin brings cozy nights, warm drinks… and unfortunately, cold and flu season 🤧. With windows closed, heaters on, and everyone spending more time indoors, germs can spread quickly.

Here’s your essential winter cleaning guide to keep germs at bay this flu season 👇
Winter germs love to linger on the spots we touch the most — and these often get overlooked in daily cleaning.✅ Light switches
✅ Door handles
✅ Remote controls
✅ Phones and tablets
✅ Bannisters, cupboard handles, and taps👉 Disinfect these areas daily using antibacterial wipes or a disinfectant spray and a clean microfibre cloth. A quick wipe goes a long way in stopping the spread of flu and cold viruses.
✨ Bonus tip: Keep a small disinfectant spray by the front door for a quick clean after guests leave.
Kitchens and bathrooms are germ hot spots, especially in winter when ventilation is reduced.Kitchen:

🚿 Regular cleaning keeps bacteria and viruses from spreading to the rest of the house.
Winter often means closed windows, which can trap stale air and germs.✅ Open windows for at least 10 minutes a day when possible to let fresh air in
✅ Clean air vents and filters to keep air flowing freely
✅ Use a dehumidifier or air purifier to reduce dampness and airborne germs
🌿 Fresh air = fewer germs and a healthier home environment.
Blankets, curtains, rugs, and upholstery can harbour germs, dust, and allergens over winter.✅ Wash bedding, throws, and cushion covers regularly in hot water
✅ Vacuum upholstered furniture, mattresses, and rugs weekly
✅ Consider a professional deep clean for carpets and upholstery for a real winter refresh
🧺 Clean fabrics not only reduce germs but also keep your home feeling cozy and fresh.
Shoes bring in dirt, bacteria, and even viruses from outside.✅ Place a shoe rack or boot tray near the door
✅ Encourage family and guests to remove shoes at the entrance
✅ Keep doormats clean and replace them if needed
🚪 This simple step reduces the amount of outside germs entering your home.
Your heating system runs constantly during winter, which means dust and germs can circulate through vents.✅ Clean and dust radiators, vents, and heaters regularly

✅ Wipe thermostats and control panels with disinfectant
💨 A clean heating system means cleaner air and a healthier winter home.
