Damn! I use vinegar to clean just about everything too. It’s not clean until it’s vinegar clean.

This is bad news ;/

I handwash dishes and add a bit of bleach to the soapy water. That’s another thing grandma did that I never understood until now.

Grandma’s 1000 rolls of tp and paper towels and bleach in the dishwater. Scary thinking back of all the things I never asked her about but I’m slowly starting to remember. I did dig out her silverware and we’re eating of that now, just in case. Even using a silver spoon to dish out the cats’ food. I’ve always understood her full freezer and pantry and how it gives you a sense of comfort and well-being.

Vinegar will kill most germs, but you’ll need alcohol for the virus. Or a UV light.

Do you have bleach? A diluted bleach concentration in a spray bottle is what I use. Let sit 10 minutes.

The CDC recommendation for bleach dilution is:
Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

I add a drop or two of dish detergent just in case it helps break the lipid layer of the virus

darn. I use vinegar too. Well, I’m still going to use it, and then I guess I’ll hit it with Lysol spray?
