Norovirus How to Clean Your Home After a Contamination


Published on Jan 22, 2013
A video about how to clean, disinfect, and decontaminate your home after a Norovirus infection. Our family of 5 were recently infected with the Norovirus. Starting with the youngest it spread to the oldest eventually infecting Mom and Dad. Norovirus causes projectile vomiting and uncontrollable diarrhea, stomach cramping, nausea, and flu like symptoms. We all recovered but learned that we can be reinfected because the Norovirus can live outside the body for 7 to 14 days. All of the vomiting and coughing had spread the virus particles everywhere....on the walls, floor, sink, toilet. Everyone was sick at different times. The kitchen counter and all surfaces were contaminated. The virus was everywhere in our home. We were at risk to be reinfected unless we did a total decontamination. We offer a short video with some advice on how to decontaminate your home after someone in your family gets Norovirus.
