Not reading the label
We know, labels are boring. But reading the label on your antibacterial wipes can help you use it to greatest effect. The label reveals "how long the product must remain wet on a surface to inactivate all the bugs," something you've probably never even thought about, explains Karen Daw, dental and medical OSHA and Infection Control coach and speaker. She says that in many cases, the surface should remain wet for at least three to four minutes to kill the germs on the surface, and the label will specify that.
Also, the labels on the wipes can actually reveal what types of microbes it's effective against. Don't assume that every type of wipes kills everything. After all, it's antibacterial wipes, which means that it's equipped to kill bacteria—not necessarily viruses. "Don't assume the antibacterial wipe is also effective against viruses," says Daw. "The label will clearly list the time needed to inactivate specific bugs." If you're specifically looking for household products that kill coronavirus, we've got a list.
