Two hours at 150F.

Which is too slow for home heating.

But your oven set on “warm”/170F for an hour would likely do just fine.

Along with 1/2 cup household bleach per gallon of water for clean surfaces that will tolerate it.

The benefit comes from the high temp in the heating area, not that of the whole house LOL!
I may have a study to refer to soon, look out!

I think most understand the cold China areas made things worse- or better from the virus’s point of view.

Of course the whole home does not reach that temp- how stupid, or just argumentative, would someone have to be to say that? The mind boggles- it’s only reached in the heating chamber, baseboard or radiator heater.

Sadly, it bears repeating.

I’ve read for the flu virus it is 170 degrees minimum, some viruses need a higher temperature. But not sure for how long, an hour seems too long. Found the following:

“While the exact value of the economic impact of the hepatitis A virus in. Kentucky is ... Heating to 180 degrees for one minute will kill any potential virus on contaminated food.”

I also looked up the burning temperature of paper - 400 degrees F. So putting your cash in the oven at 200 degrees for five minutes I would think would do the trick.

Your 1/4 cup bleach to a gallon of water is good. Not sure what it would do to money though!

Weeks ago I looked up the temperature of a clothes dryer. I think it was around 140 degrees - but I recall it was much less than 170.
