Cleaning Information and Resources For Coronavirus

3/23/2020

0 Comments

 
The importance of cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting is vital for protecting our homes and families during the COVID-19 pandemic. We're sharing our tips, resources, and information for cleaning during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Picture
Which products you will utilize to clean is one of the first things to consider. The American Chemistry Council shared a list of products that can be used to fight Coronavirus. Once you have determined the cleaning supplies you will use, have a look at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's website for a cleaning and disinfecting guide. 

​The American Cleaning Institute also has tips for cleaning in order to stop the spread of COVID-19. Some of the tips include frequent hand washing, disinfecting frequently touches surfaces such as light switches, handles, door knobs, and desks, wiping down shopping carts with antibacterial wipes, and washing reusable bags after arriving home from the grocery store. 

The CDC also recommends using disposable gloves while cleaning and disinfecting and to throw away the gloves afterwards. Diluted solutions with bleach, most common EPA-registered household disinfectants, and alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol are effective disinfectants, according to the CDC. You can make your own bleach disinfectant by mixing 1/3 cup of bleach per gallon of water. It is also recommended to launder clothing immediately after returning home, and to sanitize your laundry baskets and laundry areas. Consider laundering items on the warmest water allowed for the garment, too. 

Real estate professionals use their phone frequently, so remember to clean and disinfect your phone with something like a Clorox wipe that has at least 70% alcohol. We don't recommend using a product that contains bleach so you don't ruin your phone's surface. Whatever cleaner you decide to use, make sure it has time to sit and work in disinfecting before wiping it with an unused microfiber cloth. 

​If you're having a difficult time finding cleaning products, filling a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol can be an alternative to store-bought cleaning products.

Real Estate in Pennsylvania During COVID-19

3/20/2020

0 Comments

 
The situation with COVID-19 is continually changing, and it's safe to say everyone has a lot of questions. Because real estate transactions often utilize third-party service providers, each situation is different. Our aim is to provide resources and answer questions you may have with the information we have available at this time.

Pennsylvania's Governor ordered all non-life sustaining businesses to shut down. Does that include real estate businesses?
All real estate sales and leasing businesses have been ordered to close their physical locations until further notice. The order does not apply to remote operations, as long as social distancing and other measures are followed. We understand this to mean that brokers and agents can conduct whatever activities they can from home, but should not be in an office, and should likely avoid conducting business in client's homes. Most third-party providers (inspectors, contractors, title companies, etc.) have been impacted by the Governor's mandate as well.
