How long Coronavirus Stays on Surfaces and How to Kill It - Including your Devices!
We recently posted a deep dive look at why your phone might just be the filthiest object you own...18x times dirtier than a men's public bathroom. Can you say YUCK! Read the whole article here.Coronavirus on your phone!
Coronavirus was "persistent" or "active" as two new research studies noted for up to 9 days. One that looked at it specifically on surfaces and the other that measured the virus in "aerosols" or basically how long it could last if it were airborne.
The point is, this coronavirus can remain alive for a very long time and lower temperatures make it last longer as does more humidity.
Here's the How Long Does It Last On . . Chart: Our phones are made of metal, aluminum and glass.
Smartphones and tablets and laptops ALL have glass screens. The research shows the Coronavirus or HCoV can last up to 5 days on that surface. The back of the phone can be metal, plastic or glass- The SARS-CoV can last up to 9 days on the plastic, 4 days on glass and 5 days on metal. This virus does not want to die.
HERE'S WHAT THE RESEARCH TELLS US CAN ELIMINATE THE CORONAVIRUS FROM SURFACES
They compiled 22 research studies that tested everything from iodine to hydrogen peroxide and benzalkonium chloride- which is found in many hand sanitizers, and put it all in one important document.
The CDC lists products that they register to work against the Cornavirus.
Really important, The CDC also has a section mandating the length of time needed for a cleaning agent to stay wet on a surface to kill the Cornavirus.
The CDC listing shows that some products, like some "phantom" product called Cousteau P- which can't be found anywhere- can work in just 30 seconds, while good old fashioned Clorox bleach need to stay on the surface for 5 minutes.
BLEACH IS THE WINNER!
For folks like you and me, the practical answer is Clorox. Most of us have had it in our homes or have it now and we know how to use it safely.
DON'T USE BLEACH FULL STRENGTH! Even Clorox says this. The proper dilution is 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water. Also, the CDC says to make sure surfaces stay wet for FIVE MINUTES to insure effectiveness.
