Post Shopping Processing

[Jon The Vape]

We had a home shopping delivery last week. Everything was wiped down with an anti bacterial spray, and left to air dry before putting away.

i'm using hand disinfector when enter and exit the shop, then at home i'm trying to get off the most packages and using sanitizer on those which can not be wasted right now.. washing my hands with soap and water, and then washing fruits and vegetables with water only.
stay safe!

Absolutely. Everything that enters this house is wiped over.

Same here. Same goes for Phones, wallets and glasses.

Most coronaviruses can survive 5 days+ on multiple different surfaces.

Excellent, thanks. It's worth pointing out metals like brass and copper don't fall into the long life category. Indeed they, as with bacteria, seem to kill it quite quickly.

I even do keys and bag, because my fingers have been all over those when I'm out.

Good point.

Does anybody else here disinfect their shopping when they get home?

A couple of people I spoke to think it's OTT, but I think it's kind of sensible. I mean, people and snotty kids have had their fingers all over them right?

(Maybe because I'm one of those people who will finger through all the packs of falafels to get the one with the best BB date and I assume other people do the same....)

Anyway, everything gets thoroughly washed, or wiped with a bleachy cloth, or removed from it's virused up multipack wrapper before being put away in the cupboard or fridge.

Am I being sensible or paranoid or sub-normal?

In this period of time, anything that makes you feel better/safer, then do it, and to hell with what others say or think providing you don’t interfere with anyone else’s way of living. I’m with you, we wipe down all our shopping, is it necessary? I don’t care, it makes us feel safer.

For me it's not only about feeling safe, if I'm going to get OCD about something I'd like to understand if I'm being effective or not. It's a major PITA to do, so if I'm wasting my time I'd like to know about it
