Common, Household Products that do not kill the Coronavirus by the Best and Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid service in Wilmette, IL., Dialamaidusa. We all know now, that we have to wash our hands for at least 20 seconds, many times per day. Also Bleach, Isopropyl Alcohol, and Hydrogen peroxide do kill this virus, according to the CDC. However, some common cleaning products that we all probably have in our homes, do not. Below are just some of these products, as listed by the CDC.
- Homemade hand sanitizer. You’ve probably seeing all sorts of hand sanitizer recipes floating around your social media and the internet, but Stephen Thomas, M.D., chief of infectious diseases and director of global health at Upstate medical University in Syracuse, advises against making your own. People don’t know the right ratio to use, and the internet won’t give you the right answer, he warns. Not only can you hurt yourself, but it could give you a false sense of security. Companies spend a bunch of time and money to pay chemists specifically to formulate hand sanitizers that work and that are safe. If you make it yourself, how can you know if it’s stable or if it works, says Dialamaidusa.
- Vodka. There are widely circulated recipes on the internet using vodka to combat coronavirus. A couple of vodka makers, like Tito’s and Smirnoff, have already come out with statements telling their customers that their 80-proof product does not contain enough ethyl alcohol ( 40% compared with the 70 % required) to kill the coronavirus.
- Distilled white vinegar. Disinfection recommendations using vinegar are popular online, but there is no evidence that distilled white vinegar is effective against coronavirus.
These are just a few of common items that we all probably have in our homes that will not kill the coronavirus. Soap and Water, Bleach, Isopropyl Alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide are the ones that do kill the virus, as stated by the CDC.
