As the government begins to slowly lift restrictions, countless questions are popping up in the minds of the UAE citizens, the main one being about theirhealth and safety.<\/p>\n

Although it is easy to avoid recreational activities and stay safe at home, many still have toput up a brave front and march out to earn the bread and butter, which is why work hours are something that cannot be dodged.<\/p>\n

To win the fight against the novel coronavirus, sustainable dry-cleaning experts, 5\u00e0sec<\/strong>, are sharing a laundry list of expert tips to help ease stress whilst putting in100% at work.<\/p>\n

Andre Mota, CEOof 5\u00e0sec UAE said: \u201cOver the past month, movement outside has been limited to \u2018essential\u2019 reasons only, however, with the ease in restrictions and the government allowing 30% of workforce to return to offices, countless residents will now be stepping out on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo help protect against COVID-19, hygiene shouldbefront of mind, with frequent cleansing of all work clothes. The main aim should be to take care of shoes andclothing with appropriate laundry measures, as the virus can survive on these items for hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below are the top five laundry tips shared by 5\u00e0secforthose needing to make the daily commute to the office:<\/p>\n

    \n

  1. \nHandle your clothes carefully\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you are\u00a0coming from work<\/strong>, we recommend to\u00a0immediately place the clothes into your laundry bag<\/strong>.\u00a0Do not shake the clothes in the air<\/strong>to avoid the dispersion of the virus. Wearing gloves is also advisable.\u00a0Leaving the clothes quarantined<\/strong>\u00a0in the bag for one day is likely to lead to the decay of the virus.<\/p>\n

    Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds<\/strong>\u00a0immediately after putting the clothes in the laundry bag or in the washing machine.\u00a0Wash your laundry bag frequently<\/strong>\u00a0or, ideally,\u00a0use disposable bags<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    2. Clean clothes adequately<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The combination of detergent, warm water and the mechanical action of the washing machine should inactivate and remove the virus.<\/p>\n

    Wash<\/strong>\u00a0your items\u00a0at the\u00a0highest recommended temperature<\/strong>\u00a0with a\u00a0good quality detergent\/soap<\/strong>.\u00a0When appropriate to\u00a0the\u00a0garments, the use of detergents with bleach is highly effective in deactivating the virus.<\/p>\n

    Reconsider<\/strong>\u00a0using\u00a0items<\/strong>\u00a0that need to be\u00a0washed in low temperatures<\/strong>\u00a0(eg. silk, wollen and dark colors that may bleed). If you do, you should\u00a0steam press\u00a0or iron them carefully<\/strong>\u00a0to remove pathogens.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n Wash bedsheets\u00a0at least<\/u>once a week at high temperatures<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Bed sheets<\/strong>\u00a0should be\u00a0washed<\/strong>\u00a0at least once a week and\u00a0ideally every three to four days<\/strong>. This helps to get rid of sweat, drool, and other fluids and shed skin cells that can affect your overall health.\u00a0Dust mites<\/strong>\u00a0feed on shed skin cells and can\u00a0cause\u00a0allergies and asthma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Again,\u00a0do not shake dirty laundry\u00a0<\/strong>to avoid dispersion of the virus into the air.\u00a0Wash at the highest temperature possible<\/strong>\u00a0as per the care label (minimum of 60 degrees for light-colored linen and 40 degrees for colored),\u00a0adding a color-safe bleach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Tumble dry\u00a0at high temperatures\u00a0<\/strong>\n

        After washing clothes, towels, beddings\u00a0and other items, we recommend\u00a0drying items completely at a high temperature<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you are wary about delicate\u00a0items that\u00a0cannot\u00a0withstand high temperatures \u2013 we recommend\u00a0wearing more durable items that can withstand high temperatures<\/strong>\u00a0or calling in a professional.<\/p>\n

        5. Iron at high temperatures to reduce wrinkles and combat germs<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Now is\u00a0a\u00a0good\u00a0time to invest in that steamer, particularly for delicate items.\u00a0Steamers can\u00a0be used to clean clothing and\u00a0eliminate germs\u00a0by applying steam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Iron bed sheets and clothing at a high temperature\u00a0<\/strong>as this is highly disinfectant\u00a0and will eliminate the virus.\u00a0Move the iron slowly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
