Thread: What Disinfectant For CV Explained.

A pharmacist said soap is best, alcohol-based sanitisers are next best, but if you can't get them, dishwashing fluid can also do some good. Washing hands purely with water doesn't kill it, but can wash it off the hands.

Another tip is to wear gloves when handling the pumps at servos, as people can leave it on the handles.
Door handles, particularly in publuc toilets, and rails in shopping centres are other dodgy surfaces.
We have put a packet of disposable gloves in the Defender.
Wearing a face mask wont give much protection from sneezing because they only protect the mouth and nose, but globules can go all over the head. If you are sick, wearing a face mask can stop you from spraying it on other people. So I assume people wearing a face mask are sick.

IPA and aloa vera work very well in a pinch.

I suppose using IPA as a disinfectant is better than drinking it.

I treat everyone including myself as possible carriers, mask or not.

Surgical masks are next to useless, need N95 masks. I would wear my spray painting or woodworking filter mask before using a surgical mask. Surgical masks are only good for about 15 to 20 minutes.

I wonder how effective Eucalyptus oil is against Covid 19?

I went to a site today and the manager refused to sign on my iPad,due to the virus.
He only had to touch it with his fingernail,as i put it on the desk and walked back from it.

Yes,waterless sanitiser is by far the most convenient for the work ute or van,but its hard to get hold of.

I'm waiting for this to happen.

One of our sites we now need to phone ahead, phone when on-site, log in remotely, then open they door to the manager office and drop the keys we need, step back, and we pick them up.

Yea perhaps you old guys used to drink IPA i dunno. Might have gone well with bread and dippin.
Modern people appreciate its not for drinking.

I was just offering advice i got from a medical professional re IPA but whatever.

Drink urine if you think its going to help.
