Here's A Complete Guide On How To Disinfect Every Piece of Clothing And Accessory On You

Staying at home and wearing masks outdoors are of good practice but this does not prevent the virus from clinging onto your valuables which may eventually lead to infecting everyone in your household. In order to survive this pandemic, all of us should learn how to properly disinfect our washable masks, jewelries, handbags, clothes, and shoes. These among many others are the things we bring outdoors during our quick trips to the bank, pharmacy, or grocery.

Disinfection is different from sanitation—and that is a fact. Spraying rubbing alcohol all over your essentials is not enough. Rubbing alcohol together with other versions of alcohol-based sanitizers and anti-bacterial wipes can only do their job outdoors as first aid or as a first step towards disinfection. Experts did not invent the 20-second hand wash routine without any reason which explains why water and soap are still the best weapons during this pandemic. One can only imagine what it takes for the virus to thrive on your skin or even on your valuables!
