I calculated that one standard-size bottle of hydrogen peroxide will sanitize produce for a household for one month (e.g. mix 1/4 cup with 5-6 gallons of water).

I picked up 4 bottles the other day at the local Dollar General.

My grocery trips are now planned for quickest in-and-out, and everything I bring home is washed in H2O2 before being brought inside for rinsing and storage.

The typical Hydrogen Peroxide is 3%. It takes 30 minutes for it to destroy a virus - it has to remain wet for the 30 minutes. See link below for all of this.

Bleach water is similar, 30 minutes. A weaker solution in COLD water is better than a strong solution.

Alcohol is better at 70% than 91%, and is effective in about 15 seconds. And while the effectiveness of alcohol is well known, the FDA for whatever reason doesn’t have any products that use it as “approved”. But then again, the FDA doesn’t “approve” Vitamin C as effective against colds, etc.

409 and the various Lysol wipes are effective in about 30 seconds - the object needs to remain wet.
