There have been many infectious diseases that have caused havoc and devastation throughout the world for centuries.

In this blog, we will discuss the recommended methods of preventing the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19. We will also provide some tips on how to prevent your face veneer from chipping, a common concern for many people.
How to Prevent the Spread of Infectious Diseases


Wash your hands frequently

One of the most important ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is by washing your hands frequently. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

Cover your mouth and nose

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of used tissues immediately and wash your hands thoroughly. This will help prevent the spread of respiratory droplets that can carry infectious diseases.

Avoid close contact

Avoid close contact with those who are sick, and stay home if you are feeling unwell. If you must go out in public, wear a mask to help prevent the spread of respiratory droplets.

Clean and disinfect surfaces

Clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, especially those that are frequently touched like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops. Use a disinfectant that is effective against the virus that causes COVID-19 (again, no brand name).

Practice good oral hygiene

Good oral hygiene is important to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Rinse your mouth with mouthwash to kill bacteria that can cause infections.

Preventing face veneer chipping

Now that we've discussed some ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, let's talk about preventing face veneer chipping. Face veneers are thin slices of natural wood that are glued onto the surface of furniture or cabinetry. Over time, these veneers can split, crack or chip, especially if exposed to moisture or changes in temperature.

To prevent face veneer chipping, consider the following tips:

- Avoid placing furniture or cabinetry near windows or other sources of direct sunlight.

- Keep your home's temperature and humidity levels consistent to prevent changes that can damage face veneers.

- Clean up spills immediately to prevent moisture from seeping into the face veneers.

- Use coasters and mats to protect surfaces from hot or cold items.

- Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners that can damage the veneers.

In conclusion, preventing the spread of infectious diseases and protecting your face veneers are important for overall health and wellbeing. Follow the tips we've discussed to keep yourself and your home healthy and beautiful for years to come.
