You might want to consult the EPA's List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2. It lists all products that meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

You want to find a product that has a short "dwell time" i.e., the amount of time a surface must remain wet to kill the virus.

I originally found List N from What Kills It? What Kills Coronavirus.

About five weeks ago, I was able to buy the Oxivir tb wipes that I found listed on the "What Kills It" page. They were briefly for sale on Staples.com; since then, they've been restricted to the health care and first responder market.

Be warned - it is hard to find any of the List N products for sale anywhere. I sign up for email alerts for "in stock" from various companies to snag some when it becomes available.

Thank you for the link. I keep wondering how long it will be before regular supplies of Lysol spray are available to the general public. It has always been my “go to” for disinfecting, and I’m on my last can that I had before this all happened. On surfaces that can take it, I use Clorox Clean-Up + bleach. I think I have enough of that to last me, but it will sure be nice when you can find appropriate disinfectants in the stores again. You have to really luck out on your timing.
