The Coronavirus has slowly become an unfortunate, yet popular topic in our world, and it's important that we take the necessary steps to educate and prepare ourselves and our families for what could come. While washing hands is said to be one of the best precautions to keep yourself safe, we want you to keep in mind just how many ways our lives, and the lives of others can be effected by viruses and the bacteria that cause them - and that includes the contamination of our clothes and laundry.

While doing a load of laundry may be part of your daily or weekly cleaning routine, when it comes to disinfecting our clothes, towels and bedding - it can be quite the opposite, especially if someone in your home is sick.
