Contaminated surfaces are a crucial part of the chain in the transmission of diseases. While it is still unclear as to what role they play in transmitting the new coronavirus, but they play an important one for related viruses. Hence it becomes important to not only clean these surfaces but disinfect them.
What should I use to clean and how?
How you clean is important. You don’t want to “recontaminate” surfaces while cleaning. Working from one side of a surface to the other helps to clean and then disinfect. Since coronavirus is a delicate structure and it is vulnerable in the environment. Both heat and detergents, including soap, can stop it functioning.
Contaminated surfaces
If a surface is suspected to be contaminated, cleaning it with a common household disinfectant will help kill the virus. Always remember to wash your hands after cleaning (or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer) & avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose.
Reusable cloths always need to be washed and dried after each use. Hot water is recommended to laundering cloths in the washing machine with normal washing liquid to kill the virus.
Dishes and cutlery
Dishes and Cutlery needs to be washed with hot water and detergent. A dishwasher is even better, because it can use hotter water than your hands will tolerate.
