Spring Cleaning
It’s time for spring cleaning. And since spring cleaning takes on great significance this year, the research department here at Round the World has been looking into the best way to clean and sterilize your home. Our team of researchers has been busy at work scouring our archives for recordings that compel us not only to start cleaning the house, but want to keep at it while we listen. We herewith bring you the results of our research.
Throughout the program, we will learn about cleaning and sanitizing your home, tips on handwashing and personal hygiene, and doing laundry - especially when someone in the house is sick.
The knowledge we gain will come right from the Center for Disease Control and the Harvard Medical School.
