Covid 19 Coronavirus Disinfectant
As of the 23rd March 2017 the UK Government announced a stay-at-home warning due to the Coronavirus Pandemic sweeping the world. A scary time for all. Therefore, it must go without saying that washing your hands is doubly important when handling food. But what about a Covid-19 Coronavirus Disinfectant for cleansing surfaces, door handles and other regularly touched hard surfaces?
After research it appears there is only one homemade solution that will suffice as a Covid-19 Coronavirus Disinfectant. The reason I share this is because there are a lot of homemade solutions online that will simply not work, such as a regular homemade anti-bacterial spray. This the only homemade solution that is recommended by the CDC (Centre for Disease Control & Prevention)
Please note you CANNOT DRINK THIS or INJECT THIS to kill Covid-19, it will cause serious harm!
The solution is very simple but there are some things that you need to consider first
- You will need a 15ml (1 tbsp) measure that is not to be used for any food products or eating
(I have a plastic one that came with a powdered product) - You will need a Cloth that is only used for this spray
- You will need an empty Spray Bottle that holds roughly 1 litre of liquid & has been really well cleaned out from a previous product
- You will need to be able to Label the spray and Keep Out of Children’s Reach
- A Pair of Gloves such as Marigolds
- This is not to be used in areas with Animals
To make the Covid 19 Coronavirus Disinfectant
- Put on your Gloves
- To make the solution you need to measure 15ml of Household Bleach and pour into the Clean Spray Bottle
- Measure 1 litre of warm water into a jug
- Pour the Water into the Spray Bottle leaving 2-3 inches at the top
- Put the lid on tightly
- Over a sink turn upside down & then back the correct way ensure the Water & Bleach are combined
- Label the bottle and store out of reach with 15 ml measure, Cloth & Gloves
- At the end of the day pour the leftover contents down the toilet
- At the start of the day make a new solution
How to use Covid 19 Coronavirus Disinfectant
- Put on your gloves
- Check there is nobody close to you and that the nozzle is facing away
- Spray onto your allocated cloth and wipe the surface you wish to disinfect
- Leave for a minimum of 20 seconds
- Surfaces that will come into any contact with Food or with Children need to be rinsed after with warm soapy water (using a different cloth)
- Other surfaces such as door handles can be dried with kitchen roll
