{roll eyes}  If you chose to wash fresh veggies/fruit [ones like peppers, apples, skins of oranges] with soap which is excellent for killing this virus, of course you must RINSE WELL!  Soap and human GI tract does not get along.  But I think we’re all bright enough to know that…….or…..maybe some are not?  {shrug}  That is my method.  Wash and RINSE WITH WARMER WATER….anything that can get wet.

Otherwise, wipe with the ALCOHOL wipes. LET THAT DRY/EVAPORATE ON IT’S OWN…or you cut short the sanitizing effect. 60 – 70% is best for timing that evaporation….[but you can water down the 90% if that’s what you bought.]

10% BLEACH / 90% water is sanitizing solution for modern labs…..IF the subject of that sanitizing can tolerate bleach.  Use gloves….even at 10%, bleach will be hard on those hands that you’re constantly washing these days.

We remove the outer wrapping of most anything….including the mail.  Throw away the outside packaging/envelopes, etc ….go immediately to wash hands.  Cauliflower, box of fresh mushrooms, etc. all have outer cellophane wrapping.  Assume inner contents have been in transit long enough for virus to die…..{hopefully}

OldMtWoman  ….my hands have finally toughened up with all this EXTRA hand washing!
