Common household products that can kill the coronavirus

© Steve Heap

When it comes to housecleaning, here's how to tackle the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

These are strange times, and when times are strange, the internet does what it is so uniquely good at: It spreads a lot of misinformation.

Recently we’ve seen all kinds of far-fetched claims about how to kill the virus responsible for COVID-19 – some of them so dangerous that we’re not even going to repeat them here. Suffice to say, people are panicking and hungry for ways to protect themselves. Fair enough. But we thought it would be prudent to take a look at some of the things proven to be effective for destroying the new coronavirus at home.

The Centers for Disease Control notes that current evidence suggests that the virus may “remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials.” They add,

"Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings."

Fortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency tells us that coronaviruses are some of the easiest types of viruses to kill. “It has an envelope around it that allows it to merge with other cells to infect them,” Stephen Thomas, M.D., chief of infectious diseases and director of global health at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, tells Consumer Reports. “If you disrupt that coating, the virus can’t do its job.”

The difference between cleaning and disinfecting

  • Cleaning is the removal of germs and dirt from a surface. It does not kill germs, but removing them depletes their numbers and thus lowers the risk of spreading infection.
  • Disinfecting means using chemicals to kill germs on a surface. Unlike cleaning, disinfecting does not remove dirt or germs.

By cleaning first and then disinfecting, the risk of spreading infection can be lowered. Surfaces should be cleaned using detergent or soap and water – and allowed to dry for at least 10 minutes – prior to disinfecting.

General tips for cleaning and disinfecting households

If anyone is coming in and out of the house, routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces is warranted, these include tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks, et cetera. The CDC recommends household cleaners and EPA-registered disinfectants that are appropriate for the surface. Be sure to read and follow instructions for safe and effective use, and pay heed to those instruction, for example, wearing gloves and making sure there is sufficient ventilation.

If your household is home to someone suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19, please see cleaning instructions included in the CDC's recommended precautions for household members, intimate partners, and caregivers.

Products that can kill the coronavirus

Soap and water

Hand sanitizer could practically be a new form of currency at this point, but do not overlook the wonders of good old soap. “It isn’t possible to disinfect every surface you touch throughout your day,” says Thomas. “The planet is covered with bacteria and viruses, and we’re constantly in contact with these surfaces, so hand-washing is still your best defense against COVID-19.”

Perry Santanachote writes in Consumer Reports that the action of scrubbing with soap and water can break that aforementioned protective envelope. “Scrub like you’ve got sticky stuff on the surface and you really need to get it off,” says organic chemist Richard Sachleben.

Isopropyl alcohol

The CDC notes that alcohol solutions with at least 70 percent alcohol should be effective against coronavirus. Apply undiluted alcohol and let it sit on the surface for at least 30 seconds to disinfect. Note that it may discolor some plastic surfaces.

But NOT vodkaDespite what some are suggesting, an 80-proof product is only 40 percent ethyl alcohol, compared with the 70 percent required to kill the coronavirus.

And NOT distilled white vinegarWhile vinegar may be a TreeHugger favorite, there is no evidence that it is effective in killing the coronavirus.

Hydrogen peroxide

Santanachote reports that as per the CDC, household hydrogen peroxide (3 percent) can kill rhinovirus (the dreaded virus that causes the common cold). “Rhinovirus is more difficult to destroy than coronaviruses, so hydrogen peroxide should be able to break down coronavirus in less time,” he writes, recommending that it can be poured undiluted in a spray bottle and used from there; just be sure to let it sit on the surface for one minute before wiping. It should be OK on metal surfaces, but can discolor fabric.

“It’s great for getting into hard-to-reach crevices,” Sachleben says. “You can pour it on the area and you don’t have to wipe it off because it essentially decomposes into oxygen and water.”

Common commercial disinfectants

The CDS has a list of products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims that are expected to be effective against COVID-19. They have not specifically been tested against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, but they are expected to be effective based on demonstrated efficacy against harder-to-kill viruses.

Some of these look pretty intense and would be my last resort, but then again, I am not living in a household with someone who is infected. As always, use caution and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products.

Bleach

You may have a no-bleach household, like many of us TreeHuggers, but if there were a time to break the no-bleach rules, this might be it for some. The CDC notes that “unexpired household bleach will be effective against coronaviruses when properly diluted.”

As per CDC instructions, make a bleach solution by mixing five tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water or four teaspoons bleach per quart of water. Keep in mind:

  • Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application and proper ventilation.
  • Check to ensure the product is not past its expiration date.
  • Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.
  • Do not keep the solution for longer than a day.

Precautions when using bleach

The federally funded clinical and educational center, Western States Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit at UC San Francisco, has a great information sheet on using bleach. Among other things, they note:
  • Bleach can irritate the skin and eyes.
  • Exposure to bleach can make asthma worse in people who already have asthma.
  • Mixing bleach with other chemicals containing ammonia, quaternary ammonium compounds (found in other disinfectants), vinegar or other acids can create a toxic gas.
  • Bleach corrodes many metals. It should never be used on stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, marble, or granite.
  • Bleach is neutralized by dirt and other organic material, so it isn’t very effective when used on a surface that hasn’t been cleaned.

A note on wearing gloves

And lastly, make sure you are following good glove protocol. The CDC recommends wearing disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, and to discard them after each cleaning. But since disposable things break our TreeHugger hearts, we will also note that the CDC gives advice for reusable gloves, recommending that they "should be dedicated for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces for COVID-19 and should not be used for other purposes." And always remember to clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.

USDA Cheating Own Rules to Expedite Increase in Processed Chicken Imports From China

Image: chinadaily.com

Food & Water Watch is concerned about some USDA records it stumbled upon that show political pressure was applied to allow an increase in Chinese chicken imports without following proper safety protocol. More interesting than the agency taking shortcuts, however, is the question of why it did: to promote U.S. beef interests.At least that's a potential explanation, supported in part by information Food & Water Watch obtained through a FOIA request. The group found that "pressure on the USDA to approve the rule was based in part on U.S. efforts to reopen the U.S. beef trade with China, which was banned after mad cow disease was discovered in a cow in Washington State in 2003."

The group said that the USDA made mistakes and didn't follow proper procedure for naming China an approved exporter of processed poultry products to the U.S.

Among Food & Water Watch's findings:

USDA missed required steps in the approval process and failed to send the rule to the USDA Office of Civil Rights for review;

USDA staff made incorrect public statements that consumers would be able to avoid Chinese poultry imports, despite the fact that country of origin labeling requirements would not apply to processed poultry products;

FSIS provided different sets of data for the potential economic impact of processed poultry imports from China on the domestic poultry industry.

"We now have evidence of instances where the USDA broke its own rules," said Wenonah Hauter, the group's executive director. "China's food safety system is virtually non-existent."

Why China May Lose Manufacturing Jobs to the US

The World


Listen to the story.

Manufacturing in China (Photo: jurvetson)
The company SolarWorld had a choice a few years back: build solar panels in China or open a new factory in Hillsboro, Oregon. The company could've paid workers a lot less in China. But it went with Oregon. At the Oregon factory, I asked company spokesman Ben Santarris, why not do this in China? "Why don't you move to China?," retorted Santarris. "That's actually what we say to investment analysts when they ask the same question. We say, 'Why don't you go ahead and move to China?'" Santarris said the company is committed to western labor and environmental standards, standards that China doesn't match. But SolarWorld is still a business, one that's beholden to shareholders. Santarris said they did some math and came to the conclusion: We can make this work in Oregon without relying on cheap Chinese labor. "Labor accounts for less than 10 percent of our cost. Of those costs, we believe close to half is lost to the Chinese by greater shipping costs. Another half, or more, is made up for by the higher US labor productivity." American workers are generally more productive because they work with better machines and tend to be better trained. That said, Chinese workers put in a lot more hours at lower cost. So it's still cheaper today to manufacture in China. SolarWorld is trying to fight those economics. Yesterday, the company and six other American solar manufacturers filed a trade case in Washington at the Commerce Department against the Chinese solar industry. They're seeking high tariffs on Chinese imports. The companies say they need protection to compete with China and build in America. Some business analysts say it's time for more American companies, across different industries, to consider manufacturing stuff back home. Mark Kramer, managing director at the consulting firm FSG in Boston, said outsourcing to China is not a slam dunk anymore. "When you take into account the added costs of transportation, the additional lead time that's necessary to change your stock and therefore the larger inventories you need to hold here. And the risks of things like the lead paint recall for toys that cost Mattel $30 million, there really are a tremendous number of costs to outsourcing." American companies may have another reason to think twice about setting up shop in China: rising wages for Chinese workers. Hal Sirkin with the Boston Consulting Group is co-author of a new study "Made in America, Again: Why Manufacturing Will Return to the US." He said 15 years ago, workers in China earned 50 cents an hour. "And that 50 cent an hour labor is now that $3 an hour labor," said Sirkin, who adds that Chinese wages are going up 17 to 20 percent a year. So, Sirkin thinks that in less than five years it will make just as much business sense for some American companies to build things back home, particularly in lower-wage southern states. "Now of course because factories are 25, 30-year assets, companies are going to need to make the decisions now as to where they want to produce things." A few companies have already moved their operations back from China. For example, a headphone manufacturer relocated to Florida and a producer of ATM's is heading to Georgia. Still, there hasn't yet been a mass homecoming. And University of New Hampshire economist Ross Gittell said, don't look for one. "Because if you compete on lower cost, those jobs are not going to go to China, they're going to go to even lower cost countries than China, Indonesia, and lesser developed nations where lower wages are going to be the source of competitive advantage." But Gittell said that doesn't mean all manufacturing has to be surrendered to overseas competition. He said higher-tech jobs that require more machinery, jobs such as building solar panels, can flourish in the US. "Yes, but we have to start investing in clean technology innovation and a workforce right now, which is what China is doing! So we're losing the jobs over the next 20 years to China now and there's something we can do about it." So why aren't we doing more about it? President Obama has called for more investment in manufacturing across the board. His critics say the administration lacks a clear strategy. Mark Kramer said business executives are also to blame, chasing short-term profits when making business decisions. "Investors looking at quarter by quarter results, did you miss your earnings projections by a penny? The fact that CEO's have a shorter average tenure nowadays, they're there just for a few years, most of their compensation is in the stock. Many of the activities that are more socially responsible and are better for the business in the long run, actually achieve their benefits in the long run, over a period of three, five or 10 years." Consumers also have a role to play if we're going to shift manufacturing back home, said Lisa Margonelli at the New American Foundation. "We're going to have to come to terms with a new sense of what globalization mean to us. What it's meant to Americans is: It's all about price. You know for 10 or 15 years we all bought really cheap deck chairs from China. And that seemed to be working kinda well; we have to decide whether that's what we care about." If manufacturing does start shifting back, some things are going to cost more. There's no way around that. But even if manufacturing stays in China, with economic trends over there, Chinese-made products will inevitably cost more too.
