Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Surfaces
Wear disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Gloves should be discarded after each cleaning. If reusable gloves are used, those gloves should be dedicated for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces for COVID-19 and should not be used for other purposes. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and disinfection products used. Clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.

If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
For disinfection, diluted household bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, and most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective.
Diluted household bleach solutions can be used if appropriate for the surface. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application and proper ventilation. Check to ensure the product is not past its expiration date. Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser. Unexpired household bleach will be effective against coronaviruses when properly diluted.

Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

And your keyboard. Wipe and let air dry.

Use (Unscented) bleach accordion the instructions.

I’m not going to hang my leg out of the window when a hatchet murderer is loose in the hood

Ye shall not tempt the Lord thy God

thank you

Bleach should be fresh too.

It will ‘expire’ if you’ve had it a few months

yeah but dont underestimate the placebo effect.

face masks,cleaning , etc have a psychological 'peace of mind' effect more than anything,
may as well throw in some prayers to complete the package.




true, but rarely does common sense and education stand in the way of herd mentality mass panic.

if I was to risk trusting anything at all [homebrew] , it would be an appropriate iodine based solution.

the other option is to find out what medical staff/hospitals use and see if one
can find a source.

And TELEPHONES! Anything you shove up into your face and breathe on. House phones, cell phones, smart phones, whatever. If you share a phone or borrow someone else's phone it's a great way to share germs.

Yes.

Momma has spent most of her life working in food service. She has always kept a pump spray bottle of diluted bleach water on the counter.

A bit of chicken blood on the counter, a few drops of beef drippings, she gives the counter a spray of bleach water and wipes it off with a paper towel.

She's been doing it for the 37 years I have known her. It has kept Salmonella and E Coli at bay all this time. It will keep COVID 19 away as well.

My question would be: what about the produce at the grocery. All those tomatoes, green beans, snow peas, potatoes, carrots, etc sitting on the shelves unwrapped. Handled by every passing shopper, sneezed upon by myriads of dirty little imps. If they are wrapped, they were picked and handled before being wrapped.

How do you sterilize raw living vegetables without tainting the veggies? How long can a viral agent live on living plant tissue? Is it time to start cooking every thing we eat?

If you cant find bleach but you have a pool or hot tub, the "pool shock" chemical is basically chlorine in powder form (calcium hypochlorite)
Couple bucks for a 1 pound bag that will make hundreds of gallons of disinfectant. Betting it wont sell out like bleach either.

Can you cite which pharmaceutical co. or scientific finding has confirmed that bleach will kill
the current strain of COVID 19..?.....( there are commercial products verified to work against
other human coronaviruses,but we are not talking about such.)

should also be noted salmonella and E Coli are bacteria, while covid 19 is a virus.

Just rinse in fresh water.

To add:
Love the smell of bleach in the kitchen after processing fish or butchering chickens.

That's referring to things like railings on stairwells, and door knobs.

I aint puting bleach or any of that other stuff on what I touch the most. It just aint going to happen.

Holy cripes.

Wise to wash hands after using common-use /shared item surfaces outside one’s home like shopping carts, doors/knobs, kiosks/touch screens/cell phones, land-line phones at work, and as was mentioned MONEY. But, hell, this isn't “new” advice; always been true. Oh, and break the habit of touching one’s face, rubbing eyes, or touching lips. But, that isn’t new either.

You don’t catch 99% of viral illnesses by “touching” them. You get it by inhaling them (on someone’s moist breath or sneeze) or getting them on a mucus membrane such as eyes, mouth, inside nose, privates, etc.

And, no, it matters not a wit what magic potion you wash your hands with. Just wash them. Surfaces are different, in so much as you can’t wash your workplace keyboard in the sink. Dilute bleach or germicidal wipes are effective if can hit every micro-surface, which you can’t really, so do as you will.

pharmaceutical companies are cashing in on products labellled “Kills Human Coronavirus”,
but it doesnt mean the product is capable of dealing with the specific COVID 19.

Covid 19 is easier to kill than the common cold virus.

You know this from your own labratory controlled tests?

please tell which products on the market kill COVID 19
