Norovirus is one of the most common causes of stomach illness, and it spreads fast, especially in households, schools, and childcare settings. It can survive on surfaces for days and is resistant to everyday cleaning products, which means routine “wipe downs” often aren’t enough to stop it from spreading. Vomiting and diarrhea can also lead to rapid dehydration, particularly in young children.
To help families reduce the risk of ongoing transmission, we made a norovirus cleaning checklist below.
This guide outlines...
- Which surfaces and areas to clean
- Which disinfectants are proven to kill the virus
- How to do a proper "quick clean" and a "deep clean" after everyone recovers.
