409 spray has the same (or similar) active ingredient as the Clorox wipes. Our stores (Seattle) are out of 409, but I still found some on Amazon. Spray the 409 on a rag and soak down the steering wheel, etc. Same as the wipes, it has to remain wet for 30 seconds. Allow to air dry.

Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) is also effective but takes longer. Costco had a new shipment of it in and the shelves were full. Excerpt:

“The time required for inactivating three serotypes of rhinovirus using a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution was 6–8 minutes...”

The above excerpt came from the link below that goes over numerous chemical disinfectants. Alcohol is very good at destroying the virus. 70% is better than 91 or 100%. You can buy higher percent and dilute it. Amazon still has some.

And mix the 91 or 99 with aloe to make hand sanitizer.

There are much more potent peroxide available. Used as a sterilizing agent. Look for above 7% and add a half percent acetic acid. Work quickly, as this degrades rather fast.

Avoid too high a percentage of H2O2– this stuff was part of torpedo fuel combo at one time. 12% to 35% may be available on Amazon.
