Disinfection is an integral part of household maintenance. Especially carefully should be the processing of utility rooms and buildings where pets are kept. Many owners of summer cottages are interested in carrying out high-quality disinfection of sheds and other utility rooms on their own. Such sanitary measures require accuracy and thoroughness.
Before proceeding with the processing of the barn, it must be exempted from household equipment. If pets are kept in the room, litter, manure, bedding, and leftover feed should be removed. The walls and floor are mechanically cleaned from contamination. To prevent dust formation during cleaning, spray the shed with water or a disinfectant. It is recommended to wash the wooden floors of the barn with warm water and, after drying, plan the top layer of wood. If livestock is kept in the shed, the topsoil under the floor is removed. Garbage and other collected material that may be contaminated are taken out of the village and then buried in the ground or burnt, observing safety measures. After carrying out the described measures, proceed to the actual disinfection of the barn. In order to prevent, it is recommended to supplement the mechanical cleaning of the room by irrigating the walls and floors with a disinfectant solution. This treatment allows you to prevent and eliminate dangerous infectious diseases. Conduct the treatment of the premises with appropriate means. Wash objects and structural elements in the barn with a disinfectant solution. While processing indoors, open doors and windows, if any. Sunlight and drying are detrimental to the causative agents of infectious diseases. Treat wooden objects by burning them with a blowtorch, after which the burned surface of the wood is slightly planed. It is recommended to similarly burn the cemented and plastered surfaces of the barn. Boil clothes, fabric materials, and metal objects in a soda solution for about an hour. Such a hot treatment can remove the most persistent infection. Use chemicals such as caustic soda, sodium chloride, hydrated lime when disinfecting the utility room. Preparations should be prepared in such a quantity that they would be enough for one day of work, since over time the mixtures lose their useful disinfecting properties. Treat the room two to three times at intervals of one and a half to two hours. Use the shed for its intended purpose only after it has completely dried.
